    About this audiobook

    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.
