Disease Spirits and Divine Cures Among the Greeks and Romans is a historical and cultural study of the beliefs and practices surrounding illness and healing in ancient Greece and Rome. Written by Cesidio Ruel Simboli and originally published in 1921, the book explores the ways in which people in these ancient societies understood and dealt with sickness, disease, and physical afflictions. Simboli delves into the religious and mythological beliefs that shaped ancient attitudes towards health and healing, including the roles played by various gods and goddesses in both causing and curing illness. He examines the use of various remedies and treatments, including herbal medicines, amulets, and charms, as well as the practices of divination and dream interpretation that were used to diagnose and treat ailments. Throughout the book, Simboli draws on a wide range of primary sources, including ancient texts, inscriptions, and artwork, to paint a vivid picture of the complex and multifaceted world of ancient medicine and healing. He also explores the ways in which these beliefs and practices have influenced later Western medical traditions, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine or the cultural roots of modern healing practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
