Magie und Ritual bei Apollonios Rhodios : Studien zu ihrer Form und Funktion in den Argonautika

Until now, scholars have largely ignored Apollonius of Rhodes’s deep interest in secret cults, arcane rituals, paradoxa, and magic. The present study extensively explores this material with special emphasis on its function in the Argonautica. Based on this complementary methodological presentation, the book is geared to both religious historians and literary scholars.
