Secret Cults of the Ancients. Mystical Practices Dedicated to the Gods

In his work, S. Angus examines ancient religious cults, exploring their uniqueness and ultimately their collapse before Christianity. He touches on the Eleusinian mysteries — the religious rites of Ancient Greece, the cult of the Asian Cybele, the Great Mother and Attis, the Egyptian Osiris and Isis, Dionysian rituals, Mithraism in the Hellenistic world, and other topics of pre-Christian faith.
