Ancient Greek Divination

Sarah Iles Johnston

The first English-language survey of ancient Greek divinatory methods, Ancient Greek Divination offers a broad yet detailed treatment of the earliest attempts by ancient Greeks to seek the counsel of the gods. It also offers in-depth discussions of oracles, wandering diviners, do-it-yourself methods of foretelling the future, magical divinatory techniques, and much more. It illustrates how the study of divination illuminates the mentalities of ancient Greek religions and societies.
