This work is an interesting fusion of two basic types of content- first and foremost, pieces of mythology from the Greek and Roman tradition of paganism, and secondly- derived from the same- statements about those bits of lore, regarding their metaphorical and symbolic nature, and potential usefulness in imparting moral lessons.Here we have, in some degree of depth, stories as wide ranging as Prometheus and Orpheus, Bacchus and Typhon. To the practicing occultist, both the stories and the derived philosophy are of significant interest.
