This book proposes a new approach to the study of ancient Greek and
Mesopotamian literature. Ranging from Homer and Gilgamesh to
Herodotus and the Babylonian-Greek author Berossos, it paints a
picture of two literary cultures that, over the course of time,
became profoundly entwined. Along the way, the book addresses many
questions of crucial importance to the student of the ancient
world: how did the literature of Greece relate to that of its
eastern neighbours? What did ancient readers from different
cultures think it meant to be human? Who invented the writing of
universal history as we know it? How did the Greeks come to divide
the world into Greeks and 'barbarians', and what happened when they
came to live alongside those 'barbarians' after the conquests of
Alexander the Great? In addressing these questions, the book draws
on cutting-edge research in comparative literature, postcolonial
studies and archive theory.
