It is into this other world glimpsed by the Greeks and the Latins that this work attempts to penetrate, in order to discover the form and substance of souls and other supernatural apparitions, very present in all ancient literature, from Homer to Saint Augustine. The ancient authors describe disturbing visions which inherit from the very ancient cult of the dead, but also give voice to the souls which call out to and admonish the living.
