Select bibliography on popular narrative lore in the ancient world (Greece, Rome, and the Near East). (original) (raw)

For use of the participants in my seminars on ancient popular narrative lore at the University of Athens. Based mostly on my personal library and collection. It includes a list of handy and useful editions and translations of ancient Near-Eastern texts (Egypt, Mesopotamia, Israel and Syria, Ugarit, Hittites, Iran, India). The selection of reference works and research studies on ancient folklore and popular narratives is unavoidably personal and reflects mainly the works which I have found most useful in my own studies.
