This volume analyzing several selected texts of late Greek literature (Orphic hymns, Greek Magical Papyri, Neoplatonic philosophers, Nonnos of Panopolis) adds significantly to our knowledge of ancient sun-worship, and provides a deeper insight into the complex image of the Greek sun-god in a post-classical syncretistic theology.
