Description
Hekate Soteira: A Study of Hekate's Roles in the Chaldean Oracles and Related Literature
By Sarah Iles Johnston, this book explores the complex and multifaceted role of Hekate in ancient Greek and Roman thought. Contrary to her reputation as a patroness of witches, Hekate was also seen as a celestial figure, facilitating communication between the divine and human worlds.
Through a close examination of the Chaldean Oracles and related literature, Johnston sheds new light on Hekate's various roles, including her connection to the cosmos and the individual soul's release. This study offers a nuanced understanding of Hekate's significance in the history of Western philosophy and religion.
