The contact zones between the Greco-Roman world and the Near East
represent one of the most exciting and fast-moving areas of
ancient-world studies. This new collection of essays, by
world-renowned experts (and some new voices) in classical, Jewish,
Egyptian, Mesopotamian and Persian literature, focuses specifically
on prose fiction, or 'the ancient novel'. Twenty chapters either
offer fresh readings - from an intercultural perspective - of
familiar texts (such as the biblical Esther and Ecclesiastes,
Xenophon of Ephesus' Ephesian Story and Dictys of Crete's Journal),
or introduce material that may be new to many readers: from demotic
Egyptian papyri through old Avestan hymns to a Turkic translation
of the Life of Aesop. The volume also considers issues of
methodology and the history of scholarship on the topic. A
concluding section deals with the question of how narratives,
patterns and motifs may have come to be transmitted between
cultures.
