Plutarch’s Theosophical Essays

Plutarch’s collected religious and philosophical essays from the Moralia — anchored by On Isis and Osiris, the only complete ancient account of the Egyptian myth and the most sophisticated Hellenistic philosophical reading of it. Plus his four Delphic essays on oracles and prophecy, and the short moral treatise On Superstition.
