Resumo(s)
This essay examines a passage by Flavius Josephus, that of King Saul’s visit to the witch of En-Dor (AJ 6, 327-339), in which the Hellenistic historian paraphrases the biblical text (1 Sam 28: 21-25), but amplifying it considerably. In this amplification, Josephus makes use of his Hellenistic tools and recreates a scene of
Necromancy with evident resonances in the surrounding cultures, being Josephus’ passage comparable to, and probably influenced by, other Greek texts and Latin narratives as the Odyssey, the Persians by Aeschylus, the Hecale by Callimachus, the Metamorphoses by Ovid and, above all, the Pharsalia or On the Civil War by Lucanus. It is thus proved, once again, that Flavius Josephus was notoriously a man of his time.
