Description:
This book offers the first comprehensive study of the phenomenon of nympholepsy-the experience of being 'seized' by a nymph-in ancient Greek cult and poetry. Using literary and archaeological sources, this study provides a new interpretation of the bond between mortals and immortals, and between cult and poetry.
