Molto interessante l'analisi psicologica di quest'autrice sulla motivazione dell'esistenza di divinità che rappresentano ciascuna aspetti diversi della natura umana. Gli dèi dell'antica Grecia emergono attualissimi nelle pagine di questo e degli altri libri che ha scritto, e forniscono una chiave di lettura di alcuni fenomeni sociali apparentemente incomprensibili. Parlando degli dèi antichi, la Paris parla al lettore del lettore, e lo fa davvero bene.
