Perhaps the most mysterious deity of ancient Greek mythology, the night-wandering Hecate, has been minimally researched precisely because of her association with the forces of night, magic, and death.
In this monograph, psychologist and author Georgios Ioannidis explores the entire ancient literature to illuminate the different facets of the goddess: the feared witch from Argonaut texts and the Greek Magical Papyri, the beloved companion of Demeter in the Eleusinian drama, as well as the salvation of souls, as she is revealed in the Chaldean Oracles.
