Description:
The ancient world of Greeks and Romans was the ultimate crucible of mystery and magic. From simple love spells to complex rituals, the people of the Greco-Roman world made use of magic to influence the world around them. Magical rites were used as a direct path to the gods, for divine favors and spiritual satisfaction. In this course, Georg Luck presents a fascinating, and at times startling, alternative vision of magic and the occult in the ancient world. This enchanting survey of magical beliefs offers an unusual look at ancient Greek and Roman thought and a new understanding of their view of the supernatural.
