Book Synopsis Apotropaia and Phylakteria: Confronting Evil in Ancient Greece by : Maria G. Spathi
Book excerpt: The belief in the existence of evil forces was part of ancient everyday life and a phenomenon deeply embedded in popular thought of the Greek world. Stemming from a conference held in Athens in June 2021, this volume addresses the apotropaia and phylakteria from different perspectives: via literary sources, archaeological material, and iconography.
