This page groups esoteric texts by the figure credited with writing them. Wikipedia notes that the Corpus Hermeticum's "authorship is traditionally attributed to the legendary Hellenistic figure Hermes Trismegistus, a syncretic combination of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth." Browsing by attributed author lets a visitor find every text credited to the same named figure.
