    Reads Like a Mystery Novel
  

*by W***H on Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2010*

I found it propelling and entertaining. Join the search for who these ancients were and find the kykeon.I used to think Greek mythology was just nonsense authored by ignorant primitives.  With the missing key provided by Carl Ruck, mythology opens to new depth.  The idea of mushrooms being central to ancient greek culture at first seemed a bit alien but I cracked open an introductory mycology text by C.J Alexopoulos and the first paragraph is about how Perseus founded Mycenae because of the mushrooms he found there.  Mushrooms he drank the water from.  Ruck has plenty of examples of mushrooms in central and important works of Greek art including the Alexander the Great's daughter's tomb (a mushroom).Seems classical scholars don't like the idea that sex or hallucinogenic mushrooms need to be discussed to understand the ancient Greeks.  To me the history and mythology is nonsense with out it.This book is obviously ahead of it's time because it has been poorly received.  In ten years this will be a classic and the critics will pretend they liked it from the beginning.

    Where are the footnotes?
  

*by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2007*

A very intriging book, but, without footnotes, none of the ancient sources or modern references can be traced.  Let's hope that a scholarly version of this book will be published someday.

    GODS OF GREECE or DRUG INDUCED TRIP
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2016*

The book starts off good with its description of the journey from Athens to Eleusis but then it jumps in pedal to the medal giving a true insight as to the true agenda of this book.  The primary aim is a claim that drugs are the secret ingredients used in "The Mysteries Of Eleusis".  I will concede that drugs may have been a part of this religious festival but I disagree that this is core event.  Had drugs been the sum of this religious event, I am sure that Eleusis would have faded into oblivion long before the new mythology "Christianity" took center stage.I'm sorry to say that I was thoroughly disappointed with the connection of every aspect of the Eleusinian Mysteries repeatedly connected wirh psychedelic drugs by the author.  I find offense in even associating the Gods of Ancient Greece as the mere effect of a drug induced trip.
