About this product
Product Information
Over the last sixty years scholars have increasingly become aware of links connecting early Greek poetry with the literatures of the ancient Near East. Martin West's new book far surpasses previous studies in comprehensiveness, demonstrating these links with massive and detailed documentation and showing they are much more fundamental and pervasive than has hitherto been acknowledged. His survey embraces Hesiod, the Homeric epics, the lyric poets, and Aeschylus, and concludes with an illuminating discussion of possible avenues of transmission between the orient and Greece.

'No short review can do justice to the treasures of this admirable book ... The data extant in many ancient languages are cited by West chiefly in English. His superb, unique scholarship can be read with ease and profit even by undergraduates.'Saul Levin, Religious Studies Review, "His superb, unique scholarship can be read with ease and profit even by undergraduates."--Religious Studies Review, An impressive and substantial volume ... The book is very readable and OT scholars can learn much from it, 'immensely learned ... the evidence amassed by West discloses a truly extraordinary command of Near Eastern as well as Classical languages, linguistics, history, art history, and archaeology ... I would single out ... chapter 2 which is to my knowledge the most comprehensive detailed,up-to-date survey of Near Eastern literature currently available in English ... he has performed an extremely valuable service in making the specialist scholarship of Mesopotamian and other Eastern literatures more readily accessible than has previously been the case.'Charles C.Chiasson, Southern Humanities Review, 34:2, Spring 2000, "His superb, unique scholarship can be read with ease and profit even by undergraduates."-- Religious Studies Review, 'Shows in brilliant detail that there are parallels at the level of ritual, custom, belief ... down to even the minute phraseology of poetic language.'Peter Jones, The Spectator, 'immensely learned ... the evidence amassed by West discloses a truly extraordinary command of Near Eastern as well as Classical languages, linguistics, history, art history, and archaeology ...
