Four annotated papers, from a workgroup, examine the evidence for cultural and religious contact between Greece and the Near East in the first millennium BC. Contributors draw on archaeological and documentary evidence to discuss: Ionian Greeks and Homer's treatment of Anatolia; the progress of the Hellenistic oracle, from Greece to Lydia and Persia; the depiction of the gods in Greek and Persian cult artworks (focusing on a statue of Artemis); relations between late Biblical Judaism and the Greek intellect.
