What reading level is Some Palestinian Cults in the Graeco Roman Age book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
13). She wears on her head, not a turreted crown, but a crescent.^ She stands, not on a prow, but on a Triton, who holds aloft a cornucopiae ; she carries, not a standard, but a sceptre ; and the dove is in her hand, not in the field of the coin.
From the evidence of the numerous other representations of the marine Astarte in Phoenician coast-cities, it is certain that the former goddess is Astarte functioning as City-goddess. Is the other goddess also Astarte, or is she Atargatis (Derketo) .^ ...We know that Derketo was worshipped at Ascalon in a semi-piscine form ; but it does not follow that there was not also a human representation of her, since in other cities inland, such as Hierapolis, this fish-form did not prevail. The sea-monster on which the goddess stands would express her marine nature. The dove was also sacred to her. Dussaud has insisted on the view that the lunar crescent alone, uncombined with the solar disk, is never the attribute of Atargatis. Possibly, however, at the late period with which we are concerned, a period of great con- fusion between various deities and their attributes, the rule which he asserts may have been relaxed.
