Description

Explore the origins of language and culture with this scholarly work from Oxford University Press. This text examines the Indo-Europeans, the prehistoric speakers whose language serves as the foundation for most European and many Asiatic languages today. By looking back five or six thousand years to the Eurasian steppes, the research uncovers the shared heritage of these ancient peoples. Author Martin West provides a deep investigation into traditional mythologies, religions, and poetries. This work serves as a companion to his previous research in The East Face of Helicon (1997), where he explored Near Eastern influences on Homeric poetry. While his earlier work focused on non-Indo-European traditions, this new volume identifies the ancient Indo-European elements that shaped early literary traditions. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the linguistic and mythological roots of Western and Asiatic civilizations.
