In this work, first published in two volumes in 1890 and 1894,
Erwin Rohde (1845 1898), the German classical scholar and friend of
Nietzsche, describes the ancient Greek cult of souls and
establishes the sources of the belief in the immortality of the
soul, exploring its relation to life both before and after death.
This belief in the survival of the soul already existed in the
earliest Greek writings, but when and from where did it originate?
Volume 2 examines the question in the context of the worship of
Dionysos, arguing that there were originally many sides to the cult
of the wine-god, and that one of these may have been the source of
this belief. Psyche, reissued here in the 1898 edition, remains a
standard reference work on this topic.
First published in 2000. This is Volume VI of seven in the Library
of Philosophy series on Philosophy of Religion and General
Philosophy. Written around 1925, This book entitled Psyche, offers
an account of the opinions held by the Greeks about the life of the
human soul after death, and is thus intended as a contribution to
the history of Greek religion.
