Publisher's Synopsis
CONTENTS Book I: The Mycenaean Origin Of Greek Mythology Martin P. Nillson Book II: The Mithrian Mysteries Franz Cumont Book III: On The Soul Aristotle The knowledge of the soul admittedly contributes greatly to the advance of truth in general, and, above all, to our understanding of Nature, for the soul is in some sense the principle of animal life. Our aim is to grasp and understand, first its essential nature, and secondly its properties; of these some are taught to be affections proper to the soul itself, while others are considered to attach to the animal owing to the presence within it of soul.
