Cicero and Pico vs Ptolemy
Two famous attacks on astrology 50 BC and 1490 AD

Abstract -- The validity of astrology and divination has been disputed throughout the ages, most famously by Cicero (106-43 BC) and Pico della Mirandola (1463-1494). Here their arguments are summarised along with a supposed refutation by Ptolemy. Their arguments remain largely as valid today as they were then.
