Magic in the Roman World
By:Naomi Janowitz
Published on 2001 by Psychology Press
Using in-depth examples of 'magical' practice such as exorcisms, love rites, alchemy and the transformation of humans into divine beings, this lively volume demonstrates that the word 'magic' was used widely in late antique texts as part of polemics against enemies and sometimes merely as a term for other people's rituals. Naomi Janowitz shows that 'magical' activities were integral to late antique religious practice, and that they must be understood from the perspective of those who employed them.

Colm Tóibíd, the actual award-winning article author of A Get better atand Brooklyn, transforms his particular recognition for the complex associations between daddies along with sons—expressly this stress amongst the fictional titans Oscar Wilde, Harry Joyce, W.B. Yeats, together with its fathers. Wilde loathed his or her my father, despite the fact that regarded that they are really alike. Joyce's gregarious grandfather went your partner's fuesen via Ireland in europe on account of your boyfriend's volatile composure along with drinking. At the same time Yeats's dad, any cougar, was first surprisingly an amazing conversationalist whose yakety-yak was in fact considerably more shiny compared to a paintings he or she produced. All these prominent males as well as the daddies who seem to helped design these occur full of life for Tóibín's retelling, similar to Dublin's colored inhabitants.
