Summary
How were ancient textual sources used and manipulated? And how can this help us understand the dissemination of religious and mythological knowledge in different historical contexts? This interdisciplinary collection of essays concerning ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Israel, Greece, and Rome uses multiple approaches and perspectives to analyze the reuse of texts from different historical and geographical contexts across the ancient Mediterranean.
