From Hittite to Homer

From Hittite to Homer

The Anatolian Background of Ancient Greek Epic

From Hittite to Homer

 

This book takes a bold new approach to the prehistory of Homeric epic. It argues that the Near Eastern influence on early Greek hexameter poetry primarily came from a single Syro-Anatolian tradition of oral narrative song, which included the Song of Gilgamesh and the Kumarbi Cycle, starting in the eleventh century BCE.
