Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - The Odyssey’s larger plot is composed of a number of distinct genres of myth, all of which are extant in various Near Eastern cultures (Mesopotamian, West Semitic, Egyptian). Unexpectedly, the Near Eastern culture with which the Odyssey has the most parallels is the Old Testament. Consideration of how much of the Odyssey focuses on non-heroic episodes - hosts receiving guests, a king disguised as a beggar, recognition scenes between long- separated family members - reaffirms the Odyssey’s parallels with the Bible. In particular this book argues that the Odyssey is in a dialogic relationship with Genesis, which features the same three types of myth that comprise the majority of the Odyssey: theoxeny, romance (Joseph in Egypt), and Argonautic myth (Jacob winning Rachel from Laban). The Odyssey also offers intriguing parallels to the Book of Jonah, and Odysseus’ treatment by the suitors offers close parallels to the gospels’ depiction of Christ in Jerusalem. -- CONTENTS -- Introduction -- Divine councils and apocalyptic myth -- Theoxeny: Odyssey 1,3, 13-22, and Genesis 18-19 -- Romance: the Odyssey and the myth of Joseph (Gen. 37,39-47) -- Odyssey 4: Helen and Rahab (Jos. 2); Menelaus and Jacob (Gen. 32:22-32) -- Odyssey 5: Ogygia and creation myth; Kalypso and -- Ishtar -- Odyssey 6-8,10-12,13.1-187; Genesis 28-33: -- Argonautic myth: Odysseus and Nausikaa/Kirke; -- Jason and Medea; Jacob and Rachel -- Odysseus and Jonah: sea-monsters and the fantastic voyage -- The combat myth: Polyphemos and Humbaba -- Catabasis, consultation, and the vision: Odyssey 11,1 Samuel 28, Gilgamesh 12, Aeneid6, Plato's Allegonyofthe Cave, and the Book of Revelation -- Thrinakia and Exodus 32: Odysseus and Moses, the people disobey their leader and rebel against god -- The suitors and the depiction of impious men in wisdom literature -- Odysseus and Jesus: the king returns, unrecognized and abused in his kingdom -- Contained apocalypse: Odyssey 12,13,22 and 24; -- Exodus 32 (and Gen. 18-19) -- Conclusion.
