GREEK AND ROMAN NECROMANCY

From the editor: In classical antiquity, there was much interest in necromancy-the consultation of the dead for divination. Nothing has changed, except for terminology.

People seek knowledge from the dead by sleeping on tombs, visiting oracles, and rituals to reanimate corpses and skulls. Ranging over many of the lands in which Greek and Roman civilizations flourished, including Egypt, from the Greek archaic period through the late Roman Empire, this book is the First Comprehensive survey of the subject ever published in Any Language. It will be of central importance to those interested in the rapidly expanding intellectual subject of Apocrypha, the Occult, Black Books, Books of the Dead, Ghosts and Magick.

Ogden's book makes it easy for the reader to follow the history of the sources and the accounts of necromancy he provides.
