"Ancient Pathways and Hidden Pursuits collects essays by classicist Georg Luck, published over the years in periodicals and handbooks. They deal with the various aspects of Greco-Roman life and thought, especially with religious beliefs, occult practices, psychology, and morals. The book is a companion to Luck's Arcana Mundi, an annotated translation of ancient texts on magic and the occult."--BOOK JACKET.
