Wonders of the World, Ordeals of the Soul, Revelations of the Spirit
GA 129

Steiner depicts here the deep realities of the spiritual life of the Greeks and the deeds of their gods, as well as the Eleusinian and Dionysian Mysteries. He shows how the same living reality of the spiritual world can be reawakened today in a modern form through spiritual science due to the incarnation of Christ at the time of the Greek culture.

The translation of these lectures has been made from shorthand reports unrevised by the lecturer and published under the title: Weltenwunder, Seelenprüfungen und Geistesoffenbarungen (VoIume No. 129 in the Complete Centenary Edition of the works of Rudolf Steiner in the original German).

This First English edition is published in agreement with the Rudolf Steiner Nachlassverwaltung, Dornach, Switzerland. Translated by Dorothy Lenn, with assistance from Owen Barfield.
