"Magie bij de Grieken en de Romeinen" by K. H. E. de Jong is a scholarly exploration of magic in ancient Greek and Roman cultures, written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the historical context and development of magical practices, providing insights into how these societies viewed and engaged with magic. The author likely aims to unravel the complex relationships between magic, religion, and belief systems in antiquity. The opening of the book introduces the concept of magic as a significant aspect of human interaction with the world, suggesting it encompasses actions that utilize seemingly miraculous means beyond accepted sensory limits. The author distinguishes between magic and religion, noting how each assumes different roles in society. The first chapter presents early magical practices, referencing ancient literature, such as the works of Homer, to illustrate the prevalence and importance of magic in myths and narratives. Through these examples, the text sets the stage for a detailed examination of magical beliefs and their evolution from naive credulity to skepticism in later historical contexts.
