Greece and Mesopotamia : Dialogues in Literature

Omtale

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. All passages of Greek and Akkadian are translated.
