This volume centres on one of the most important questions in the
study of antiquity - the interaction between Greece and the Ancient
Near East, from the Mycenaean to the Hellenistic periods. Focusing
on the stories that the peoples of the eastern Mediterranean told
about the gods and their relationships with humankind, the
individual treatments draw together specialists from both fields,
creating for the first time a truly interdisciplinary synthesis.
Old cases are re-examined, new examples discussed, and the whole
range of scholarly opinions, past and present, are analysed,
critiqued, and contextualised. While direct textual comparisons
still have something to show us, the methodologies advanced here
turn their attention to deeper structures and wider dynamics of
interaction and influence that respect the cultural autonomy and
integrity of all the ancient participants.
