Zusammenfassung:This paper was originally written for a conference panel responding to Radcliffe Edmonds’s survey of Greco-Roman magic, Drawing Down the Moon. I discuss his chapter on alchemy in light of two new books on Greco-Egyptian alchemy that were published while his manuscript was in press: my own work, Becoming Gold and Olivier Dufault’s Early Greek Alchemy, Patronage and Innovation in Late Antiquity. I explain why new definitions of Greco-Egyptian alchemy are needed and provide one at the end.
