Ranging from Abai to Zeleia, from massive temples in Egypt to
modest tombs in Turkey, oracles were a major feature of the
religions of many ancient cultures until their demise under the
Christian Roman emperors.This unique work is a guide to all the
known oracles of the ancient world. The greater part of it is
devoted to an alphabetical listing providing details of nearly 300
sites in more than 25 countries where oracles of one kind or
another functioned in antiquity. The text is extensively
cross-referenced and illustrated, and supplemented by indexes, a
glossary, and a substantial introduction. The book brings together
for the first time a wide range of disparate materials relating to
this important topic, along with the results of extensive
first-hand investigations.
