To note: Third century developments from contact with East, i.e cults of fortune and fate, Sun and planets as gods, orientalizing mystery religions. Second century, astrology, and mystery religions sometimes as escape from the planetary gods. Tendency to view the sect’s god as the only one, or at least the most powerful, others’ gods as aspects of one’s own, or subordinate to one’s own. So Isis cult: purification and lustration, raised to 8th sphere to meet Isis, soul becomes free of influence of stars once free of the stain of sin, ascends to the goddess after death, freed from the body.

The mention of a book or article in the bibliography can be taken as a recommendation for it. Included are good translations of primary sources, and the most interesting and important secondary sources. Most of the latter are here because they influenced my exposition, but some argue for interesting views with which I disagree. I have restricted myself for the most part to works in English.
