The Odyssey's plot consists of distinct types of myth, all of which are also in Near Eastern texts such as Gilgamesh, other Mesopotamian myths, Egyptian narratives, and in particular the Bible. This book argues that reading the Odyssey can help readers to understand and clarify the Bible, and vice versa.
