Book Synopsis Dreams and Experience in Classical Antiquity by : William V. Harris
Book excerpt: From the Iliad to Aristophanes, from the gospel of Matthew to Augustine, Greek and Latin texts are constellated with images of dreams. This cultural history draws on contemporary post-Freudian science and careful critiques of the ancient texts. Harris reminds us of specificities, contexts, and changing attitudes through history.
