Perhaps the most mysterious deity of ancient Greek mythology, the night-wandering Hecate, has been minimally explored precisely because of her relationship with the powers of the night, magic, and death.
In this monograph, psychologist and author George Ioannidis delves into the entire ancient literature to shed light on the different aspects of the goddess: the fearsome witch of the Argonautica and the Greek Magical Papyri, the amorous companion of Demeter in the Eleusinian drama, and the savior of souls, as she is revealed in the Chaldean Oracles.
