Apotropaia and Phylakteria: Confronting Evil in Ancient Greece
Jenny Wallensten-Maria G. Spathi-Maria Chidiroglou
The belief in the existence of evil forces was part of ancient everyday life and a phenomenon deeply embedded in popular thought of the Greek world. Stemming from a conference held in Athens in June 2021, this volume addresses the apotropaia and phylakteria from different perspectives: via literary sources, archaeological material, and iconography.
