Jennifer Larson is Associate Professor of Classics at Kent State University.
"The strength of Larson's project lies in its meticulous
presentation of detail, her careful survey of the literary and
epigraphical sources, and her clear translations of Greek material
probably unfamiliar to most readers." --Journal of the American
Academy of Religion
"...Jennifer Larson's Greek Nymphs: Myth, Cult, Lore is a
first-of-its-kind, sweeping study that spans the archaic,
classical, and Hellenistic periods of Greek history. No stone is
left unturned in this encyclopedic primer on the function of
ubiquitous female deities known as nymphs and their cave-bound
cults in the literature and landscape of ancient Greece. Larson's
book is generously illustrated (with images of marble reliefs,
coins, terra-cotta
dolls, and caves) and accessible both to classicists and interested
members of the public at large." --Signs
