Krátky popis
Magic was everywhere in the ancient world. The supernatural
abounded, turning flowers into fruit and caterpillars into
butterflies. Magic packed a cloud of water vapour with energy
enough to destroy a house with one well-aimed thunderbolt.It was
everyday magic, but it was still magical. Philip Matyszak takes
readers into that world. He shows us how to make a love potion or
cast a curse, how to talk to the dead and how to identify and
protect oneself from evil spirits.He takes us to a world where
gods, like humans, were creatures of space and time, where people
could not just talk to spirits and deities, but could even
themselves become divine, and where divine beings could fall from -
or be promoted to - full godhood. Ancient Magic offers us a new way
of understanding the role of magic, looking at its history in all
of its classical forms. Drawing on a wide array of sources, from
Greek dramas to curse tablets, and lavishly illustrated throughout,
and packed with information, surprises, lore and learning, this
book will offer an engaging and accessible way into the
supernatural for all.
