Synopsis
Examines a series of parallels between the stories of origins in the Bible and ancient Greek genealogical writings from the 7-5 centuries BCE, as well as other early Eastern Mediterranean (Phoenician and Anatolian) sources from the first millennium BCE, some of which have only been published in recent years., In this book, Guy Darshan explores stories of origins that lie at the heart of Pentateuchal sources in the context of literature created in neighboring societies of the ancient Mediterranean world. A comparative study, his volume analyses the parallels between Biblical origin stories - the narrative traditions arranged in geneaological sequence that recount the beginnings of humanity and origins of peoples -- in tandem with ancient Greek genealogical writings from the 7-5th centuries BCE onwards. He also considers Phoenician and Anatolian sources from the first millennium, several of which have only been published in recent years. This is the first scholarly study to trace the origins of this genre of narrative and the circumstances that led to appearances in the Hebrew Bible and ancient Mediterranean literature. It sheds new light on our knowledge of the history of literature, as well as the interconnections and interrelations between civilizations of the pre-Hellenistic eastern Mediterranean and Near East.

    Rarewaves always comes through - excellent prices and packaging, and free shipping. I live on another continent from where they ship, and I have never had one damaged item, after numerous purchases. Items are always as described, and if I've ever had a query, they respond promptly. Fantastic seller!
