Stories of Origins in the Bible and Ancient Mediterranean Literature by Guy Darshan
Examines a series of parallels between the stories of origins in the Bible and ancient Greek genealogical writings from the 75 centuries BCE, as well as other early Eastern Mediterranean (Phoenician and Anatolian) sources from the first millennium BCE, some of which have only been published in recent years.
'Guy Darshan has taken time to research his argument thoroughly and think hard about the challenges one faces when crossing cultural and disciplinary boundaries in the ancient world… a significant work of interdisciplinary scholarship from which classicists stand to benefit a great deal.' Johannes Haubold, Scripta Classica Israelica
