In The Daimon in Hellenistic Astrology: Origins and Influence,
Dorian Gieseler Greenbaum investigates for the first time the
concept of the daimon (daemon, demon), normally confined to
religion and philosophy, within the theory and practice of ancient
western astrology (2nd century BCE - 7th century CE). This
multi-disciplinary study covers the daimon within astrology proper
as well as the daimon and astrology in wider cultural practices
including divination, Gnosticism, Mithraism and Neo-Platonism. It
explores relationships between the daimon and fate and Daimon and
Tyche (fortune or chance), and the doctrine of lots as exemplified
in Plato's Myth of Er. In finding the impact of Egyptian and
Mesopotamian ideas of fate on Hellenistic astrology, it critically
examines astrology's perception as propounding an unalterable
destiny.
