The East Face of Helicon: West Asiatic Elements in Greek Poetry and Myth
West, The late M. L. (Senior Research Fellow, Senior Research Fellow, All Souls College, Oxford)
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 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.
