Description
Welcome to this interactive e-course about one of the most fascinating bodies of ancient religious texts: The Greek Magical Papyri. I have developed this course to provide a sound and enjoyable introduction to these papyri, enabling you to discover and explore their content by yourself.
The course comprises 12 units offering an insight into the primary sources of Graeco-Egyptian magic. It takes about 2 hours and closes with a final set of quizzes and questions.
