Connects the magical practice of theurgy to the time of Homer

In this detailed study, P. D. Newman shows how the Chaldean Oracles were written in Homeric Greek, and he explores the many theurgic themes and events in the Odyssey and the Iliad. He also analyzes the writings of Neoplatonists Porphyry and Proclus, showing how both describe the technical ritual practices of theurgy in Homeric terms.
