Description

The Hymns of Hermes by G. R. S. Mead is a seminal work that offers an invaluable insight into the ancient Greco-Egyptian religious syncretism of the period. Through its examination of Hermetic texts, particularly those found in the Corpus Hermeticum and related works, this seminal work provides astute analysis of the various conceptual threads that coalesced to form a distinct syncretic religious tradition in antiquity. Read in English, unabridged.

Author

George Robert Stowe Mead (1863–1933) — better known as G. R. S. Mead — translated and interpreted Gnostic and Hermetic writings for English readers. His books on the gnosis of the mind, the hymns of Hermes, and visionary texts such as The Vision of Aridaeus belong to the same lifelong project: to recover the inner life of late-antique spirituality without drowning it in jargon.
