Abstract
Title: The Power of the Phallus: Its Value in Greek Divination
Besides the power commonly attributed to the phallus, Greek divination assigns to it much value in prognostic systems of divination. This article focuses on the role the phallus plays in the Oneirocritica of Artemidorus Daldianus, the hieroscopic papyrus P.S.I. X 1178, palmomancy (the interpretation of involuntary movements of bodily parts) as well as in elaeomancy, the study of bodily moles for divinatory purposes.
