In ancient times, the Greeks created the gods and goddesses to represent the various personalities of human nature. In Gods and Goddesses in Love, Agapi Stassinopoulos tells the stories of the primary goddesses and gods, and how their myths can provide insight into your own romantic relationships. Included are two fun and fascinating quizzes: one for women to determine their own dominant personality type and which goddess she most embodies; and a second that will help every woman understand more about the "god" she is involved with, or searching for. In the book, the seven archetypal goddesses are portrayed in modern terms, highlighting not only each goddess's unique strengths but also the pitfalls or stumbling blocks she is likely to encounter in a relationship with her partner. Also included are interviews with real couples who reveal how they overcame obstacles to find true love. For anyone who desires the self-knowledge and empowerment to find their ideal other, Gods and Goddesses in Love is an uplifting, instructive, and enlightening guide for achieving greater fulfillment in love.
I have spent most of my life following Athena as a personal archetype ... so now I see that only a Zeus will do!
A Pantheon of Passion

Agapi's book is both inspiring and informative. Having studied mythology for many years, I found new fun aspects of the gods and goddesses to contemplate and perhaps even to incorporate. Desire, love, and passion are marvelously complex; Agapi's approach offers useful tools of awareness for self and others, plus ways to enhance and enrich the heavenly experience of being In Love. It's my new favourite gift for birthdays, engagements, and weddings.
What an eye-opener!

After taking the quiz in Gods and Goddesses in Love, I gained valuable insights into my relationship with my husband (and with myself)! I have always been intrigued by Greek mythology, and Agapi Stassinopolous brings it to life. She explains to readers how the characters' qualities play out in our own behavior and that of our loved ones. My husband and I enjoy a happy relationship, and I still learned a great deal from this fun-to-read and engaging book. Women (and men!) who hope to be more self-aware and to attract a wonderful partner would do well to read it.
Profound, Fun and Transformational

Gods and Goddesses in Love by Agapi Stassinopoulos is a dream read. Informative, honest, fun, sexy and transformational, I have been using what I learned about the archtypes literally each and every day. Agapi helped me understand my marriage in a way I had not imagined. She helped me understand other people's relationship both personal and celebrity. She also invoked in me a new sense of who I am, all the aspects combined! and an awareness of how to use my strength, my wisdom, my feminine, my nurturer, my creativity, my magic to make all my dreams come true. Her willingness to share her own story was inspirational. This book is a gem. And she is a true goddess.
What an inspiring angle

I fell into this book by "accident", I am not someone who has been very intersetd in Gods and Goddesses. This book found its way to me and I discovered such valuable information about myself and my husband. The author is genuine and inspiring. It was a "happy accident" for this book to fall in my lap. I reccommend it to those that already have a relationship to deepen what you have and to those who are not in a relationship as a way to create a fulfilling one. Great read.
