Greek horoscopes are made available for study. According to the authors, "About 60 horoscopes from the first five centuries of our era have been published since Young (1828) and Champollion-Figeac (1840) in the papyrological literature." They collected all horoscopes from this material, and added a few unpublished pieces that were put at their disposal, at the time this title originally printed in 1959.

This volume examines the specific role of horoscopic astrology in Western culture from antiquity to the nineteenth century. Focusing on the public appearance of astrological rhetoric, the essays break new ground for a better understanding of the function of horoscopes in public discourse. The volume's three parts address the use of imperial horoscopes in late antiquity, the transformation of doctrines and rhetorics in Islamic medieval contexts, and the important status of astrology in early modern Europe. The combination of in-depth historical studies and methodological considerations results in an important contribution to religious and cultural studies.

The mythical origin of the constellation of Aries has one protagonist: Chrysomallos, son of a god, adventurer, noble, and sincere. The sheep with golden wool was a frank and a faithful friend of Hermes and Apollo. It was also a protector and an advisor of an iconic Greek king. It was admired as a deity. After its death, its wool became a valuable gadget claimed by Ares as his favourite armour and by humans. Chrysomallos was a powerful tragic character and a protagonist in the story of ancient heroes. Its story is the prelude to the ultimate adventure of ancient Greek heroes. The golden fleece was Chrysomallos before becoming an inert trophy. The golden sheep loved history, adventures, races and above all his friends and allies.
