Product details
"Magic in the Ancient Greek World" by Derek Collins is a comprehensive introduction to the practice and cultural significance of magic in ancient Greece. The book explores anthropological theories about magic, the development of Greek concepts of magic, and specialized types such as binding magic and the use of figurines. It also examines the use of Homeric verses as incantations and surveys ancient Greek and Roman laws concerning magic.
Collins offers an accessible but scholarly treatment, focusing on the social imagination and ritual reality that supported belief in magic’s efficacy. Unlike other works, he emphasizes psychological and anthropological frameworks to understand why and how magic was practiced and believed to work in ancient Greek society.

Key Features
The book also highlights the integration of magic with religion, medicine, and daily life in ancient Greece, revealing that magic was not separate but woven into broader cultural and intellectual traditions. Though it does not cover every aspect of Greek magical practice (such as amulets or detailed literary depictions), it serves as a solid introductory resource for non-specialists and scholars alike.
