Arcana Mundi: Magic and the Occult in the Greek and Roman Worlds: A Collection of Ancient Texts

Description

Review

"A hugely important achievement." -- Daniel Ogden, author of Magic, Witchcraft, and Ghosts in the Greek and Roman Worlds

"This lengthy volume contains wide-ranging samples of material from literature, philosophy, and real-life practitioners of magic... There is immense food for thought here in many aspects of the field." -- American Journal of Philology

"A 'must' for mythology courses and the classical civilization curriculum!" -- Classical Outlook

"An excellent work. It will rapidly and deservedly become one of the standard works on magic and the occult in the Greek and Roman worlds." -- Ancient Philosophy

"An excellent translation of ancient texts on the subject, but it's a lot more than that. It's a glimpse into the minds of the everyday people of the times and what made them turn, what made them stop, what made them look over their shoulders." -- Courier-Gazette, Rockland, Maine

"An indispensable guide." -- Bradford Lee Eden, Classical Bulletin

"No one currently at work in ancient magic or related fields can remotely compare with Luck for the breadth and profundity of his knowledge of the literary texts... or for the humility and lightness of touch with which he conveys his scholarship." -- Daniel Ogden, Magic, Ritual, and Witchcraft
