Scouring myth, legend, and history from a female-oriented perspective, she argues that many in the highest echelons of Greek civilization believed non-ordinary conception was the only means possibleof bringing forth true leaders, and that special virgin priestesshoodswere dedicated to this practice. Her book adds a unique perspective toour understanding of antiquity, and has significant implications for the study of Christianity and other religions in which divine birth claims are central.
