Description

This work opens a door to the religions of Antiquity, by addressing some of the questions which arise as soon as we examine the rites and beliefs of ancient civilisations: What is the difference between a religion and magic? Why does man communicate with gods by means of divine practice? How do myths convey wisdom? Greece and Rome are at the heart of this book, as well as important insights into Egypt and the ancient Middle East.
