This highly original study in comparative mythology interprets the Greek myths in the light of the mythologies of other Indo-European cultures: Indian, Celtic, Scandinavian, Roman, Greek, Iranian and Ossetian. Julian Baldick uses a modified version of the schema proposed by the French theorist Dumezil - little known and often misunderstood in the Anglo-Saxon world - to consider the profound connections between such works as the Iliad, the Odyssey, the great Indian epics - the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, the Iranian Book of Kings and the Scandinavian Ynglingasaga. The book includes a long critical exposition of the discipline of comparative mythology from its eighteenth-century origins to the revival of the discipline by Dumezil and his followers from 1938 to the present. Also reassessing the profound critique of Dumezil which linked him with far-right ideology, Baldick's book is an important new contribution to work on comparative mythology.

In myth, author Puhvel argues, a human group expresses the thought patterns by which it formulates self-cognition and self-realization, attains self-knowledge and self-confidence, explains its own sources and sometimes tries to chart its destinies. Here, Puhvel unravels the prehistoric origins of the traditions of India and Iran, Greece and Rome, of the Celts, Germans, Balts, and Slavs. Utilizing the methodologies of historical linguistics and archaeology, he reconstructs a shared prehistorical religious, mythological, and cultural heritage. Separate chapters on individual traditions as well as on recurrent themes give life to the book as both a general introduction and a detailed reference.--From publisher description.
