By Wilhelm Heinrich Roscher

Book Overview

Das Von Der "Kynanthropie" Handelnde Fragment Des Marcellus Von Side, by Wilhelm Heinrich Roscher, delves into a fragment from the writings of Marcellus of Side concerning "Kynanthropie," an ancient concept related to lycanthropy or the belief that humans can transform into wolves or dogs. This work examines the historical and medical understanding of this phenomenon in ancient times.

Roscher's analysis provides insights into the medical and cultural context surrounding the belief in human-animal transformations, exploring the perspectives of ancient physicians and scholars on the causes and treatments of such conditions. The fragment offers a valuable glimpse into the intersection of medicine, folklore, and belief systems in antiquity, making it a significant resource for historians of medicine, classicists, and those interested in the history of folklore and the human condition.
