Book excerpt: A Dissertation on the Mysteries of the Cabiri is a fascinating work of comparative mythology that seeks to uncover the hidden connections between the various mystery cults of the ancient world. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of the religious practices of the Phoenicians, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, Faber identifies key similarities in their worship of the great gods, and argues that they all ultimately derived from a single, shared tradition.
