The contributions to the present volume provide case studies for the role of and reflection upon prophecy and divination in the Hellenistic world after the conquests of Alexander the Great. Documents from Alexandria, biblical books, and Cicero's writings are presented and opened up to interdisciplinary discussion.

This volume contains papers read at the seventh meeting of the Aberdeen Prophecy Network, an interdisciplinary symposium held in June 2018 in Jena. From the points of view of Classical and Old Testament/Hebrew Bible studies, the contributions ask how phenomena of divination and concepts of prophecy were understood in the Mediterranean oecumene after the conquests of Alexander the Great.
