A review by alexiasophii
Grécia Mágica: O Fogo Secreto dos Gregos by José Carlos Fernández

2.0

I have to admit to being profoundly disappointed with this book. Even though the title is promising it's content is a very huge mess of lots of different ways of thinking, mixing Egyptian ideas with Greek with Christian, with Orphism, with everything they can get their hands on. I found several errors within the book specially when it came to historical timelines and historical accuracy (the existence of Atlantis, for example, is taken as being a historical fact) and even within the myths of several divinities mixing genealogies and deities names. I was very disappointed and was expecting much better work. if you're looking​ for historical work don't read this book. This book is more of a philosophical take on Ancient Greece through the authors' own ideas and opinions regarding the subject.
