Title | Greek Myths and Mesopotamia |
Lishtar's Review | The author examines the Mesopotamian influence on Greek mythology in literary works of the epic period, concentrating in particular on journey myths. A major contribution to the understanding of the colourful myths involved, very readable. Highly recommended for the historian and mythographers with a keen interest in Mesopotamia and Greece. Mesopotamian thought and literature did influence and shaped up Greek literature from its cradle. |
