Divination was an important and distinctive aspect of religion in
both ancient China and ancient Greece, and this book will provide
the first systematic account and analysis of the two side by side.
Who practised divination in these cultures and who consulted it?
What kind of questions did they ask, and what methods were used to
answer those questions? As well as these practical aspects, Lisa
Raphals also examines divination as a subject of rhetorical and
political narratives, and its role in the development of systematic
philosophical and scientific inquiry. She explores too the
important similarities, differences and synergies between Greek and
Chinese divinatory systems, providing important comparative
evidence to reassess Greek oracular divination.
