Description

Greek Myth and the Bible explores the profound connections between classical mythology and biblical narratives, revealing how these two ancient literary traditions developed in dialogue with one another. Since the nineteenth-century rediscovery of the Gilgamesh epic, scholars have recognised that the Bible draws narratives from outside Israelite culture, adapting them for its own purposes. This Routledge monograph demonstrates that Greek culture serves as a similarly significant source for biblical stories. Louden examines parallels between biblical episodes and works by Hesiod, Euripides, and Argonautic myth, providing fresh insights into how biblical authors engaged with and transformed Greek mythological material. Essential reading for students and scholars of ancient history, biblical studies, and classical literature seeking to understand the cross-cultural influences that shaped these foundational texts.

Examines specific parallels between biblical episodes and works by Hesiod, Euripides, and Argonautic mythology traditions.

Published by Routledge as part of the Monographs in Classical Studies series for academic rigour and scholarly authority.

Explores how biblical authors refigured Greek mythological narratives to address their own cultural and religious audiences.

Covers the historical development of biblical narrative sources from the nineteenth-century Gilgamesh discovery onwards.
