Bremmer. 330 $aIn the last decades there has been an increasing interest in the relationship between Greek religion andamp; culture and the Ancient Near East. This challenging book contributes greatly to this interest by studying the Near Eastern background of important Greek myths, such as those of the creation of the world and the first woman, the Flood, the Golden Fleece, the Titans and travelling seers, but also of the births of Attis and Asclepius as well as the origins of the terms ?paradise? and ?magic?. It also shows that, in turn, Greek literature influenced Jewish stories of divine epiphanies and that the Greek scapegoat myths and rituals contributed to the central Christian notion of atonement. 410 0$aJerusalem studies in religion and culture ;$vv. 8. 606 $aMythology, Greek 606 $aMythology, Greek$xInfluence 606 $aMythology, Middle Eastern 606 $aMythology, Middle Eastern$xInfluence 606 $aBible stories 607 $aGreece$xCivilization 607 $aMiddle East$xCivilization 615 0$aMythology, Greek. 615 0$aMythology, Greek$xInfluence. 615 0$aMythology, Middle Eastern. 615 0$aMythology, Middle Eastern$xInfluence. 615 0$aBible stories. 676 $a292.08 700 $aBremmer$b Jan N$0157056 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778699903321 996 $aGreek religion and culture, the Bible and the ancient Near East$9843415 997 $aUNINA
