Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book offers the first comprehensive study of the phenomenon of nympholepsy--the experience of being ""seized"" by a nymph--in ancient Greek cult and poetry. Using literary and archaeological sources, this study provides a new interpretation of the bond between mortals and immortals, and between cult and poetry. |
