Naturalistic Explanations -- Conclusions -- Bibliography -- IndexFrom the Iliad to Aristophanes, from the gospel of Matthew to Augustine, Greek and Latin texts are constellated with descriptive images of dreams. This cultural history of dreams in antiquity draws on both contemporary post-Freudian science and careful critiques of the ancient texts. Harris takes an elusive subject and writes about it with rigor and precision, reminding us of specificities, contexts, and changing attitudes through history.DreamsGreeceHistoryTo 1500DreamsRomeDreamsHistoryDreams154.6/30938Harris William V(William Vernon)209722MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785021603321Dreams and experience in classical antiquity21899UNINA
