| description | The paper aims to explore the relationship between pantomime and possession (enthousiasmos) in particular in the imperial age. The author examines various sources in this regard: the treatise De Saltatione by Lucian of Samosata, excerpts from Dion of Prusa and Plutarch, and some epigrams from the Palatine Anthology.
