From chilhood on an idyllic Greek island to coming of age in a world torn by war to entrapment and final escape from a brutal marriage, Sister of Darkness is the powerful story of a woman's journey of self-discovery and personal liberation. Through the saga of her own life, Lili Bita expresses the quest of a generation for freedom, and the ongoing struggle of women everywhere against violence and oppression.

Myth and the Existential Quest

This book by a contemporary Greek philosopher describes the integral role of myth in the human quest for knowledge and truth. Using imagination, feeling, and reason, men and women have fashioned myths, spirits, and gods from whom they sought answers through the languages of prophecy and magic. Myth, being a natural outgrowth of the earthly adventure of men and women, has been and will ever remain their inseparable fellow traveler and refuge in their existential quest.
