  • Through a study of the Goddess Hecate from Hesiod to the Magical papyri, the author of this paper follows the trend of this deity towards her assimilation with other different goddesses as an outstanding paradigm of syncretism in the late Hellenism. After a previous analysis of the main characteristics of late syncretism, followed by an argumentation against the hesiodic authorship of the so called "Hymn to Hecate", the author's task is to analyze the different conceptions of Hecate in the hymnic literature of the Orphics, the Chaldaean Theurgy and mainly in the Magical Papyri. The latter reveal to what extent Hecate became a central figure in late religion and Magic.
