Description
The study is a fresh interpretation of the Roman foundation myth and one of the most important Roman festivals - the Lupercalia, an annual celebration of youth and sexuality by Roman men and women. Written with clarity and force the book spans the whole of Roman history and takes the Lupercalia back to its Indo-European roots by presenting clear parallels between Roman and Indian traditions.
