Description

Explore the profound connection between philosophy and ancient ritual in "A Perfect Medium?: Oracular Divination in the Thought of Plutarch (Plutarchea Hypomnemata)." Published by Brill, this scholarly work examines the specific views of Plutarch of Chaeronea, a Platonic philosopher and priest at the Delphic oracle of Apollo. The text provides a thorough study of Plutarch's Delphic dialogues to understand how oracular divination functioned as an intermediary between the material and immaterial worlds.

It is an essential resource for readers interested in the history of science, ancient philosophy, and the religious practices of the Roman era.
