This book deals with the changing nature of the goddess
Ishtar/Astarte/Aphrodite, who was widely revered in the ancient West
Asia and the Mediterranean world and was known by different names.
Although the three names are often closely related, their mutual
relation has not yet been sufficiently clarified. They appear with
different characters and attributes in various areas and periods. They
may well refer to independent goddesses, each of whom may also be
connected with other deities. In this volume, specialists on different
areas and periods discuss the theme from various perspectives, allowing
a new and broader understanding of the goddess(es) concerned. The areas
covered range from Mesopotamia to the Levant, Egypt and the
Mediterranean world, the periods embraced from the third millennium BCE
to the Hellenistic age.
The volume is the fruit of an international conferenceheld in Tokyo in
2011. Drawing on discussions at the conference, each article was
completely rewritten. Contributors include Stephanie L. Budin, Stéphanie
Anthonioz,Elizabeth Bloch-Smith, Izak Cornelius, Eiko Matsushima, Mark
M. Smith, David T. Sugimoto, Keiko Tazawa andAkio Tsukimoto.
