From the publisher
First line
Apollo strides through the halls of Olympos bending his radiant bow, and the gods spring up from their seats in alarm at the sight of the young god.
From the rear cover
This book investigates the nature and extent of Mesopotamian influence on Greek religious mythological works. It shows how a knowledge of Mesopotamian ideas and motifs can increase our understanding of, for instance, the Homeric hymns to Apollo, Aphrodite or Athena, and of the works of Hesiod. This book is essential reading for scholars and students of ancient Greek and Near Eastern religion and mythology.
