This book thoroughly revisits divination as a central phenomenon in
the lives of ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. It collects
studies from many periods in Graeco-Roman history, from the Archaic
period to the late Roman, and touches on many different areas of
this rich topic, including treatments of dice oracles, sortition in
both pagan and Christian contexts, the overlap between divination
and other interpretive practices in antiquity, the fortunes of
independent diviners, the activity of Delphi in ordering relations
with the dead, the role of Egyptian cult centers in divinatory
practices, and the surreptitious survival of recipes for divination
by corpses. It also reflects a range of methodologies, drawn from
anthropology, history of religions, intellectual history, literary
studies, and archaeology, epigraphy, and paleography. It will be of
particular interest to scholars and student of ancient
Mediterranean religions.
