Abstract

The book analyzes other part of divinatory inductive techniques in ancient Greece, which focused on the human body (his appearance, behavior, involuntary movements and expressions), the animal sacrifice (its behavior during the sacrificial ritual, a way of its dying, the state of its viscera) and dreams (their various divisions according to the meaning and origin, their inducing and finding, and of course their interpretation and its rules).
