The Language of the Goddess
San Francisco: Harper & Row, Publishers, 1989.
Paperback.
Publisher's description: The purpose of this book is to present the pictorial 'script' for the religion of the Old European Great Goddess, consisting of signs, symbols, and images of divinities. These are our primary sources for reconstructing this prehistoric scene and are vital to any true understanding of Western religion and mythology.
Rita Mae Brown in the LA Times: "Gimbutas has woven together comparative mythology, early historical sources, linguistics, ethnography, and folklore to prove her case: that the language of the goddess undergirds our entire Western culture. (This) beautifully illustrated book will keep archaeology, religion, and classics departments the world over in a tizzy".
