About This Book

literaturehistorydivinationnatural-philosophy

Step into a vibrant mosaic of the ancient world where the 'honey-tongued' Claudius Aelianus blends the wit of Socrates with the legendary exploits of Alexander the Great. This kaleidoscopic collection explores everything from the heavy burdens of kingship to the bizarre ancient science of reading a person’s soul through their eye color and muscle twitches.
