Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the intersection of genre and Greek polytheism, this work critiques modern interpretations of epiphanies and divinatory dreams, suggesting that current scholarly views may be misguided. By examining various textual genres from pagan antiquity, the author argues that the concept of 'epiphany-mindedness' among the Greeks is an academic construct rather than a historical reality, stemming from a misreading of Homer’s anthropomorphism influenced by 19th-century Christian scholarship.
