Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eastern Legends and Stories: In English Verse The author, in submitting to the Public the following collection of Translations from Eastern sources, has thought it best to convert for the most part the Oriental forms of speech, which the characters in these Legends would use, into, as far as may be, their English equi valents; that what is said might sound more real in Western ears. He has reduced the number of foot-notes to the narrowest possible limits, believing that in a work of light poetry the constant intervention of notes becomes tiresome to the reader. Many, in reading this small collection of Legends, will doubtless recognize some Old Friends with New Faces.'

Download or read book Gods and Mortals in Early Greek and Near Eastern Mythology written by Adrian Kelly and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-06 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume centres on one of the most important questions in the study of antiquity – the interaction between Greece and the Ancient Near East, from the Mycenaean to the Hellenistic periods. Focusing on the stories that the peoples of the eastern Mediterranean told about the gods and their relationships with humankind, the individual treatments draw together specialists from both fields, creating for the first time a truly interdisciplinary synthesis. Old cases are re-examined, new examples discussed, and the whole range of scholarly opinions, past and present, are analysed, critiqued, and contextualised. While direct textual comparisons still have something to show us, the methodologies advanced here turn their attention to deeper structures and wider dynamics of interaction and influence that respect the cultural autonomy and integrity of all the ancient participants.
