Stratton presents an innovative approach to understanding ancient depictions and accusations of magic as forms of discourse, examining their role in struggles to define legitimate power and authority. She traces "magic discourse" from Classical Greece to the Babylonian Talmud, illuminating powerful stereotypes of sorcery and witches.
