Document Details : Title: Protection against Fear of Punishment from Hecate Ereschigal Subtitle: Another Look at a Magical Recipe in Michigan (PGM LXX 4-19) Author(s): FARAONE, Christopher A. Journal: Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists Volume: 56 Date: 2019 Pages: 205-224 DOI: 10.2143/BASP.56.0.3286657 Abstract : Reinterpretation of PGM LXX 4-19. Hecate Ereschigal is the unidentified attacker in this magical recipe and not (as it has been argued or assumed) a beneficial goddess. The ancestors of Hecate Ereschigal were most probably impeding demons like Empousa, who appears in a scene in Aristophanes’ Frogs. |
