Labor XII
This chapter explores Heracles’ defeat of Cerberus. After providing a brief overview of Heracles’ presence—or rather absence—in the retellings of the Cerberus myth, it focuses on four ways in which the intricacies of the Labor are explored. Concentrating on the Homeric Iliad, the intertwining of Heracles’ Labor with the underworld journey of Theseus and Pirithous, the introduction to the myth of Heracles’ initiation into the Eleusinian Mysteries,…

Nekydaimon
Nekydaimon , a term found predominantly in the Greek Magical Papyri ( see Magical papyri, greek) but denoting a concept that spans ancient magical practices, refers to the soul of a dead person.
Magical papyri, Greek
The Greek magical papyri (PGM) are a collection of documents containing spells for an array of activities, including, though not limited to, protection, attraction of lovers, divination, exorcism, healing, cursing, and the creation of charms.
Aoros
Aoros refers to one who has died prematurely: children, the unmarried, and those who die without bearing and rearing children. Dying without the honor attendant upon marriage and children, aoroi dwell apart from the regular dead either wandering the earth (Tert. De anim . 56) or situated on the margins of the Underworld (Verg. Aen. 6.426–9).
Necromancy
Necromancy is a form of divination based upon communication with the dead. Conducted at tombs (Aesch. Pers . 598–708), on battlefields (Heliod. Aeth . 6.12–15), in homes ( PGM IV.1928–2005), or at oracles of the dead (Hdt. 5.92), necromancy seems to operate throughout the ancient world on both the private and state level.
