About this book

Magic in the Ancient World (Revealing Antiquity, No. 10) by Graf, Fritz. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780674541535.

Ancient Greeks and Romans often turned to magic to achieve personal goals. Magical rites were seen as a route for direct access to the gods, for material gains as well as for spiritual satisfaction. In this fascinating survey of magical beliefs and practices from the sixth century B.C.E. through late antiquity, Fritz Graf sheds new light on ancient religion.
