Review: A Short Miscellany of Greco-Roman Ghost Stories
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 05 8, 2013
This books contains a short, but ordered, collection of various ghost stories from Ancient Greek and Roman history. This work is unfortunately lacking in depth and scholarship, though this is excusable when considering the disclaimer immediately after the cover page that explains how the book was simply the result of a casual accumulation of paranormal tales from Ancient Greece and Rome that the author came across during his research. Thus, this is more of a side project and I believe this fact shows in the work. Nevertheless, the book was indeed interesting and although not very insightful, it did provide a number of intriguing anecdotes from the distant past. If you are interested in ghost stories and/or Ancient Greece and Rome, I suggest you at least essay this essay. It is, after all, a free public domain book.
