Course objectives (in Czech)

Kurz je pokusem o základní typologii ženských božstev od paleolitu po sklonek starověku. Usiluje o postižení vzájemného vztahu sociální role ženy v daném historickém kontextu a ženy jako naddějinného mytického principu. Sleduje linii od paleolitických a neolitických "venuší", přes "mladistvé" a "zralé" bohyně starověku až po vznik mariánského kultu. Vychází především z pramenné základny Předního východu.
