The history of a demonic tradition that was stolen from women - and then won back again.Creatures like Lilith, the seductive first wife of Adam, and mermaids, who lured sailors to their death, are familiar figures in the genre of monstrous temptresses who use their charms to entice men to their doom.But if we go back 4,000 years, the roots of these demons lie in horrific creatures like Lamashtu, a lion-headed Mesopotamian demon who strangled infants and murdered pregnant women, and Gello, a virgin ghost of ancient Greece who killed expectant mothers and babies out of jealousy. Far from enticing men into danger and destruction, these monsters were part of women's ritual practices surrounding childbirth and pregnancy. So how did their mythology evolve into one focused on the seduction of men?

From Graham Hancock, best-selling author of Fingerprints of the Gods, comes a mesmerizing book that takes us on a captivating underwater voyage to find the ruins of a lost civilization that's been hidden for thousands of years beneath the world's oceans. While Graham Hancock is no stranger to stirring up heated controversy among scientific experts, his books and television documentaries have intrigued millions of people around the world and influenced many to rethink their views about the origins of human civilization. Now he returns with an explosive new work of archaeological detection. In Underworld, Hancock continues his remarkable quest underwater, where, according to almost a thousand ancient myths from every part of the globe, the ruins of a lost civilization, obliterated in a universal flood, are to be found. Guided by cutting-edge science and the latest archaeological scholarship, Hancock begins his mission to discover the truth about these myths and examines the mystery at the end of the last Ice Age. As the glaciers melted between 17,000 and 7,000 years ago, sea levels rose and more than 15 million square miles of habitable land were submerged underwater, resulting in a radical change to the Earth's shape and the conditions in which people could live. Using the latest computer techniques to map the world's changing coastlines, Hancock finds astonishing correspondences with the ancient flood myths.Filled with thrilling accounts of his own participation in dives off the coast of Japan, as well as in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and the Arabian Sea, we watch as Hancock discovers underwater ruins exactly where the myths say they should be-sunken kingdoms that archaeologists never thought existed. Fans of Hancock's previous adventures will find themselves immersed in Underworld, a provocative book that provides both compelling hard evidence for a fascinating, forgotten episode in human history, and a completely new explanation for the origins of civilization as we know it.

Este es un libro-sirena. Las páginas con las que van a tropezarse, si deciden continuar su sinuosa ruta, es un libro-trampa, un canto de sirena, un destello de aurora. Pese a su título, en este libro no encontraran solo un mero catalogo de las sirenas y las diosas relacionadas con la luz en las artes, especialmente, en el arte pictorico de la Europa de mediados del XIX y principios del XX. El libro es, en si, una sirena. Si entendemos sirena como una criatura hibrida, como la expresion de una promesa, como la muestra de una transformacion, como la transcripcion de ondas y meandros. Tres son, pues, los propositos que descubriran en este libro-sirena: un estudio de las imagenes de diosas y sirenas, un marco de presentacion de la iconoginia como metodo de analisis y una reivindicacion de las obras de la artista britanica Evelyn De Morgan (1855-1919) que ofrecen una mirada feminista y sororaria de diosas, sirenas y mujeres.
