Highlighting the fact that ancient societies were linked by their shared use of mythological narratives, Wandering Myths aims to advance our understanding of the mechanisms by which such tales were disseminated cross-culturally and to investigate how they gained local resonances. In order to assess both wider geographic circulations and to explore specific local features and interpretations, a regional approach is adopted, with a particular focus on Anatolia, the Near East and Italy. Contributions are drawn from a range of disciplines, and cross a wide chronological span, but all are interlinked by their engagement with questions focusing on the factors that guided the processes of reception and steered the facets of local interpretation. The Preface and Epilogue evaluate the material in a synoptic way and frame the challenging questions and views expressed in the Introduction. 606 $aMythology, Greek 610 $aCross-cultural approach. 610 $aadaptation of myth. 610 $amechanisms of dissemination. 610 $atransformation of heroes. 615 0$aMythology, Greek. 676 $a292.1/3 686 $aNH 5250$qSEPA$2rvk 702 $aAudley-Miller$b Lucy 702 $aDignas$b Beate$f1968- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796553803321 996 $aWandering myths$91766715 997 $aUNINA
