Hughes reveals the remarkable life of one of antiquity's most potent forces.
What The Reviewers Say
... one part antiquity, one part Renaissance, one part Smash Hits. Erudition, with an erotic frisson.
Hughes moves quickly from antiquity to the present day. The breakneck speed leads to some sweeping statements. And it can make for some fast leaps.
... thoroughly enjoyable.
Quick paced, insightful, and often times humorous.
