The supernatural lore of Ancient Greece and Rome is vividly brought
to life in these pages.The literature of Classical antiquity
bristles with horrible witches, mysterious wizards, terrifying
ghosts, magic books, curses, voodoo-dolls, even werewolves,
vampires and Frankenstein's monsters. Many of these tales have
directly shaped our own culture's lore of magic and ghosts, and
consequently, these tales speak to us today with great
immediacy.This book covers a period of over a thousand years that
witnessed some massive historical and cultural changes, including
the advent of Christianity. Ancient culture was generally
conservative and this is particularly true of its notions of ghosts
and witches, which are strongly bound up with traditional tales and
folklore of various kinds. Such tales preserve and conserve ideas
about ghosts and witchcraft, and they survive to achieve this
effect precisely because they are wonderfully engaging.
