"Greek Astrology" (L'Astrologie Grecque) is a classic on Greek astrology, written by renowned French historian Auguste Bouché-Leclercq.
In the words of the author himself: "Astrology is an Eastern religion which, transplanted to Greece, a country of 'physicists' and reasoners, took on the appearance of science. Intelligible as a religion, it borrowed from astronomy principles, measurements, arithmetical and geometrical speculations, also intelligible, but coming from pure reason, and no longer from the complex mixture of feelings and ideas that is the practical reason of religions. From the simultaneous use of these two ways of reasoning has arisen a bastard combination, basically unsound, but endowed with a special logic, which consists in the art of deriving from imaginary axioms, supplied by religion, demonstrations that conform to the methods of science."
This work provides a comprehensive overview of Greek astrology, including its origins, development, and influence on later astrological traditions. It covers a wide range of topics, including the beliefs and practices of the ancient Greeks, the role of astrology in their religion and philosophy, the influence and teachings of the Chaldeans and Egyptians on Greek astrological schools, and the development of astrological techniques and symbolism.
The academic rigor and depth of this book makes it a must-have for anyone interested in the history of astrology and its place in classical culture. This work is considered one of the most comprehensive and authoritative studies of Greek astrology written to date, and it continues to be widely cited and referenced by scholars and researchers in the field of Greco-Roman astrology and history.
