In the ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome, drugs were vital for use in medicine, religious ceremonies, and war campaigns. Citing examples in myths, medicinal texts, and literature, this book shows how drugs influenced and inspired the artists, philosophers, and politicians whose ideas have formed the basis for civilization as we know it.
