Book Description
Excerpt from The Delphic Maxims in Literature It is obvious that the entire field of literature down the ages is too wide for even a superficial scanning, and conse quently whole realms of knowledge, such as those of science and history, have lain Virtually untouched; nor have the drama and the novel received more than a partial scrutiny. It is chief ly from poetry other than drama, from essays, and from philo sophical and ecclesiastical writings that the passages herein quoted have been gleaned. Doubtless many a passage has been overlooked - some, perhaps, more pertinent than those to which the book calls attention; although it is probable that its main premises would not be affected by any such further discoveries. Moreover, it may appear that natural ramifica tions of thought extending from a number of the passages under consideration have been passed by too lightly, but it has seemed well to keep the treatment within very limited bounds. The notes at the end of the book contain, as will be seen, sun dry material, including such bibliographical information as the presentation demands.

Book Description
Know yourself. Nothing in excess. Give a pledge and ruin is near. These are the words inscribed on a stele just outside the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. Stunning in their simplicity, these Maxims have survived the test of time. Even today, they cause the reader to pause and think about what such short, poignant phrases mean. For those who study Hellenic Polytheism, either in historical or modern religious context, the Delphic Maxims are of great import because they hold a key to understanding early Greek thought. Delving into both the history and the current application of 34 of the Maxims to the creation of personal ethics and morals, Allyson Szabo provides us with a path to personal growth and understanding of the world around us.
