This lecture addresses the question of when and under what
conditions the reception of Oriental traditions took place in
ancient Greek culture. As a result of spectacular theories about
the Oriental origins of Homer's epics, the question has once again
become an issue of current interest, arousing controversial debate.
Albrecht Dihle covers the relevant material step by step: from the
Oriental loanwords used in Greek to the art-historical influences
of the classical period, right up to the philosophical debates and
the mystery cults of the later period. In doing so, his portrayal
of the meeting and reciprocal exchange between the East and West in
the course of ancient Greek history is at once both vivid and
differentiated.
