Comments on The Sacred Geometry of Ancient Greece, by Lucie Wolfer-Sulzer
“The Sacred Geometry of Ancient Greece should be a vital addition to any geometer’s library. In this excellent first English translation by Bernhard Rest, beautifully published by Eglantyne Books, Lucie Wolfer-Sulzer’s erudition and knowledge of the perennial philosophy shine through on every page. In particular she shows how pentagonal geometry, with its associated root 5 and golden proportions, was used to such powerful effect in the proportions of ancient Greek temples and statuary. The book also makes important connections between these subtle ratios and those found in Pythagorean and Greek tuning systems. This is a hugely important publication.”

Comments on Searching for the Palace of Odysseus, by Robert Temple:
The historian and polymath Prof Robert Temple has discovered exactly where the Mycenaean Palace of Odysseus was located, using a myriad of hints and leads from ancient sources and his own informed analysis. It is a great combination of history book, lit-crit, and sleuthing. I’m convinced! Don’t visit Greece without this book!
– historian Andrew Roberts (Lord Roberts of Belgravia)
