Does anyone know of a greek/ancient greece magical tradition from one of the books or elsewhere?
-
Never heard of one but that doesn't mean you can't make something up.
Attached is something along those lines. Feel free to use.

You could probably just use one of the current traditions with the name filed off. Maybe even Hermetic; it's a Greek name, after all. :P

well, ds has been around longer, so everything somebody asks here, has probably been answered over there with some added weirdness already

Yeah, everyone knows how weird and disturbed the folks at Dumpshock are. :P

Umm. . . thats pretty much Hermetic magic. Order of Hermes, named after the Greek God. Its a "scientific" aproach to magic as seen through the eyes of the classical authors and rediscovered in the Rennaisance.
Alternatly, you could go with gnosticism or mystery cult initiation, base the drain on intution intead of logic. I would leave the spirit list more or less the same. You would have to write it up yourself, I don't think there is a published version, but the rules encourage designing magical traditions.

I can easily see some sort of "Pythian Society" of seers and psychics. Lots of drugs...
Or a Baccanal of sorts (also with a lot of drugs), part Orgy/Intoxicate and part random Combat-spells for lashing out at the bystanders...
Maybe some sort of Artemis-adepts? The Sacred Hunters, something like that. Lots of sneaky-stuff, lots of ranged weapons.
