It is of interest to philologists and archaeologists, to students of the theater, and to all who have been fascinated by The Golden Bough and the many studies growing out of it that have been made of the ritual forms underlying Greek tragedy and other literature.
Most of the book consists of translations of ancient texts, with Dr. Gaster's philological and archeological annotations, and his explanations of the particular ritual and worldview upon which each text is based.
