Oxford World’s Classics/377 pgs
Good condition
______________________________________
The only dream-book which has been preserved from classical antiquity
Provides an engaging introduction to the history of dreams and dream-interpretation in Greco-Roman antiquity
Explanatory Notes elucidate meaning, allusions, and Artemidorus' arguments
