The Find at Ephesus Richard G. Geldard

A devastating earthquake in Western Turkey near the famous sanctuary of the Earth Mother in Ephesus, draws two unlikely souls together in an adventure of spiritual and psychological discovery. Maia Spiros, Greek scholar and tour guide, struggles in the midst of a personal crisis when she meets young Tonio Fletcher, an American graduate student studying in Athens. Drawn together by forces unleashed in Turkey and on the island of Crete, Maia and Tonio find themselves tangled in a complex web of religious and archaeological intrigue.
Richard Geldard, author of The Traveleris Key to Ancient Greece and Heraclitus Remembered, has traveled throughout the Mediterranean in search of the ancient pagan spirit still living in the brilliant light, powerful land and seascapes, and ancient sanctuaries of the gods. His evocation of the Earth Mother Goddess, along with the psychic forces that swirl around her sacred places, combined with a retelling of the Christian legends surrounding Mary Magdalen in Ephesus, remind us that forces greater than our own limited perception still have power to move and mold the human spirit in deep and mysterious ways.
