In ancient Greece and Rome, dreams were believed by many to offer
insight into future events. Artemidorus' Oneirocritica, a treatise
on dream-divination and compendium of dream-interpretations written
in Ancient Greek in the mid-second to early-third centuries AD, is
the only surviving text from antiquity that instructs its readers
in the art of using dreams to predict the future. In it,
Artemidorus discusses the nature of dreams and how to interpret
them, and provides an encyclopaedic catalogue of interpretations of
dreams relating to the natural, human, and divine worlds. In this
volume, Harris-McCoy offers a revised Greek text of the
Oneirocritica with facing English translation, a detailed
introduction, and scholarly commentary. Seeking to demonstrate the
richness and intelligence of this understudied text, he gives
particular emphasis to the Oneirocritica's composition and
construction, and its aesthetic, intellectual, and political
foundations and context.
