Since the nineteenth-century rediscovery of the Gilgamesh epic, we
have known that the Bible imports narratives from outside of
Israelite culture, refiguring them for its own audience. Only more
recently, however, has come the realization that Greek culture is
also a prominent source of biblical narratives. Greek Myth and the
Bible argues that classical mythological literature and the
biblical texts were composed in a dialogic relationship. Louden
examines a variety of Greek myths from a range of sources,
analyzing parallels between biblical episodes and Hesiod,
Euripides, Argonautic myth, selections from Ovid's Metamorphoses,
and Homeric epic. This fascinating volume offers a starting point
for debate and discussion of these cultural and literary exchanges
and adaptations in the wider Mediterranean world and will be an
invaluable resource to students of the Hebrew Bible and the
influence of Greek myth.
