Description & Specifications

The ancient Greeks showed great interest in the peculiar and strange occurrences in the world. They often crafted stories with bizarre or monstrous content using their imagination.

Their mythology, after all, was a realm of astonishing situations and events that violated the natural laws and logical order. In the Hellenistic and Roman periods, special collections circulated, focusing on resurrections, miraculous healings, and theophanies, or descriptions of bizarre and hybrid beings that diverged from human dimensions and form.

This book includes one of the most characteristic examples of the genre, along with an excerpt from a popular work that confirms that even the early Christians often had similar interests.
