How were ancient textual sources used and manipulated? How can this help us understand the dissemination of religious and mythological knowledge in different historical contexts? These essays on ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Israel, Greece and Rome analyze the reuse of texts from different contexts across the ancient Mediterranean.
This interdisciplinary collection of essays explores the use and manipulation of ancient textual sources from different settings across the ancient Mediterranean as a key to understanding the dissemination of religious and mythological knowledge in different historical contexts. In a series of case studies focusing on texts and artifacts from ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Israel, Greece, and Rome, and their ancient as well as modern reuse, this volume displays multiple approaches to and perspectives on strategies of incorporation of derivative materials in antiquity and beyond.
