Mostly Greek, Roman, Celtic, pagan, and ancient world deities, there are some American Indian, Central American and Chinese thrown in with some Welsh ones, including Arthurian figures Morgan Le Fay. The Bible gives up Eve, Mary and even Lilith. The text is cursory, more like captions really, but more descriptive and even depictive than the paintings, which are diffuse and elfin being insufficiently diverse (i.e., formulaic) let along hardly telegraphing the goddess' mien and dimension.,
