Description

Статья. Studies in аncient near eastern world view and society, Edited by R.J. van der Spek, — 195-202 р. To an unrecognized extent, Hellenistic Greek philosopher-scientists tapped the rich resources represented by the scientific traditions of the lands conquered by Alexander. Not only is this interesting as a subject in its own right, but the recognition of the ancient Mesopotamian sources from which Classical authors drew inspiration, however indirectly, can in some cases serve to rescue from obscurity passages that have defied previous attempts at understanding. In what follows, we will briefly outline a few examples of this Ex Oriente Lux that, it is hoped, Marten will enjoy.
