There were many forms of this ancient science. Most of us know of astrology, but there were dozens of others. The author reveals a complex subject which has parts, in equal portion, of philosophy, history, and archaeology. This volume begins the elucidation of the men and women who formed the active and human corps of divination, the priesthoods, oracles, and Sibyls of ancient Greece. Volume I was theory, and Volume II is the history of practice. Hence, the soothsayers, exegetes, Titantic oracles, those of Zeus, and those of Olympian dieties not Zeus or Apollo (Poseidon, Pluto, Dionysos, Pan, Aphrodite, Hera, Hermes, Athena).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuguste Bouché-Leclercq (1842-1923) was chair of ancient history at the Sorbonne from 1878 to 1918.
