For two millennia, European folklore and ritual have been imbued with the belief in the supernatural, yielding a rich trove of histories and images.\n\nThe six volumes in the series Witchcraft and Magic in Europe combine traditional approaches of political, legal, and social historians with critical syntheses of cultural anthropology, historical psychology, and gender studies. The series provides a modern, scholarly survey of the supernatural beliefs of Europeans from ancient times to the present day. Each volume contains the work of distinguished scholars chosen for their expertise in a particular era or region.\n\nThe chronological scope of this volume ranges from the heroic age of Homers Greek East to the time of the rise of Christianity, a period of well over a thousand years. In this long millennium the political and cultural landscapes of the Mediterranean basin underwent significant changes, as competing creeds and denominations rose to the fore, and often accused each other of sorcery.\n\nOther volumes in the series Witchcraft and Magic in Europe:\nBiblical and Pagan Societies\nThe Middle Ages\nThe Period of the Witch Trials\nThe Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries\nThe Twentieth Century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"University of Pennsylvania Museum Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45254125813813,"sku":"ByrdShop_0812217055","price":47.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780812217056_e8967497-3e3a-4c5e-b341-77b81ff92568.jpg?v=1779954777","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/witchcraft-and-magic-in-europe-vol-2-ancient-greece-and-rome-witchcraft-and-magic-in-europe-9780812217056","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
