Europeans have traditionally maintained that if these battles had not been won, history would have been utterly changed, with Europe falling under the sway of Eastern despotism. Whether or not this theory is true can never be known; but the theory itself helped to shape centuries of European hostility to and contempt for the nations of the Middle East." The West and Middle/Near East have long been at odds. Before Mohammed and Islam, before even Christianity, ideological differences and desire for land and power led to conflict, first in the Greek-occupied territory of Ionia, in Asia Minor, and then, later, across the Aegean Sea and onto the Greek mainland. While the Greeks favored their small local governments, the Persians were empire builders, with autocratic monarchs at their heads. For the Greeks, banding together to fight a common foe presented challenges; whereas Persian monarchs had the power to demand the support of however many able-bodied men they required.

Extractions: Myth Brainstorming Machine The Near East T he people of Uruk were irritated by the wild behavior of Gilgamesh, their powerful king who was one-third mortal, two-thirds divine. The gods answered the people's prayers and sent down Enkidu, a brawny, shaggy-haired champion to rein in Gilgamesh. The wild man and the willful king met. They wrestled together, locked in furious embrace. Gilgamesh barely bested his opponent. Enkidu bowed before a strength greater than his own. The two became inseparable friends and fellow adventurers. Gilgamesh's bravery caught the attention of the goddess Ishtar. She was smitten by the handsome king. He ignored her and ignited her wrath. Ishtar sent down the savage bull of heaven. Every time the bull snorted, its breath carved deep ravines through the earth. The monster ravaged Gilgamesh's kingdom. The heroes went after it. Enkidu seized the bull's tail and Gilgamesh slew it. Enkidu tore off one of the bull's legs and threw it at Ishtar. The goddess demanded he be punished. Enkidu then bore the gods' wrath and died, too.

Extractions: Return to Front Page Dictionary Blackboard Display Hesiod's Eastern Sources The underlying concepts of Hesiod's Theogony are not exclusive to Greek myth. Several Near Eastern cultures have their own religions and creation myths, and the similarities between them and the Theogony are striking. Enuma Elish is the great creation epic of the Babylonians. It is the story of the creation of the universe and serves as the justification of the supremacy of the god Marduk, who defeats Tiamat, one of the two original divine beings in the world. Scholars have recognized many simliarities between Marduk and Zeus. Like Zeus, Marduk is a sky god, and is of a younger generation of gods. They both battle to create order, and both overthrow their parents to triumph. The Babylonians intended that the Enuma Elish serve as a song of praise for the king of the gods. Similarly, since Hesiod's story tells the tale of Zeus' triumph, we can assume he intended the

Extractions: The Department of Classical Studies offers three closely related major programs: Greek Latin Classical Civilization . Majors in Greek and Latin are based entirely on courses in the original languages while the Classical Civilization major combines work in the original languages with courses taught in English on the history, literature, society, and material culture of the ancient world. A related, interdepartmental major, Classical Civilization and Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology, brings together courses in Classical Studies with course work in other departments. Classes in Greek and Latin are conducted in English and encourage close analysis of the ancient texts, with emphasis on their literary and historical values.
Phoenician/Greek Religion; Gods, Followers And Practices
The near eastern myth does not end here, as the stone takes on a powerof its own as a result of having been within the body of a god.
http://www.wolftree.freeserve.co.uk/Phoenician/Phoenicians2.html

Extractions: Return to first section Mythology The diffusion of Oriental wares through the ports of northern Syria - especially the port of Poseideïon, where Greeks and Near Easterners met - played a major role in bringing about the mix of Hittite and Mesopotamian mythology found in Greek religion. Phoenicians were the dominant traders at this time and this land had once been heavily influenced by them. Their own myths were in turn heavily influenced by their neighbours, although they also carried with them practices which originated in their homeland. The spread of tales to their trading partners and rivals would have been through spoken word, as literacy was not widespread. The following section looks at the Greek myths - especially those recorded in the work of Hesiod - that parallel those found in the Near East, and in particular the texts found at the old Hittite capital of Hattusas. We will first look at the gods of Hesiods Theogony, followed by the aspects of sacred stones, serpents and monsters, and finish with cultural heroes. Hesiods Theogony parallels much of the creation myth of the Near East Kingship in Heaven as found in the Hittite library of Hattusas. The Kumarbi tale shows up in a Hittite text that predates Hesiod by some 500 years. Hesiods Theogony follows the sequence so closely that borrowing almost certainly took place and thus this aspect of Greek myth shows aspects of Babylonian, Hittite, Hurrian and Canaanite mythology. This borrowing must either have occurred in the Bronze Age or some time later and been lifted either directly from the Hittites or through the neo-Hittite states of Syria. The creation myth follows these lines: the first god is sometimes known as Alalu, but does not appear in the Greek tale, Heaven Anu/Uranus is castrated by Kumarbi/Kronos.

http://www.sfjff.org/guide/israeli.html

Extractions: A Radical Critique of Zionism By Judd Ne'eman From 3rd Edition Consumed with the war against the Palestinians, the impact of the Holocaust and the death ethos, the political cinema of the 1980s in Israel presented a radical critique of Zionism and set the stage for an apocalyptic/dystopian cinema in the 1990s. Popular cinema in modern society functions in a similar way to mythology in prehistoric societies. It exposes conceptual contradictions, on the one hand, and explicates unresolved social dilemmas, on the other. In this respect, the 1980s Israeli cinema foreshadowed the emergence of a new historiography and sociology of the 1990s. Ironically, both 1930s-1950s Zionist cinema and 1980s Conflict Films exhibit, in both their iconography and narrative, rudiments of ancient Near Eastern myth, and resemble two phases of the medieval Holy Grail romances. The iconographic motifs of chalice and blade appearing frequently in Grail romances are directly related to ancient near-Eastern fertility rituals. In Israeli cinema the same icons, chalice and blade, originate from the cultural wells of the ancient Near-East, both from local Arab tradition and from ancient Judaism. Another common cultural basis of cinematic representations which link the Zionist cinema to the Grail romances is utopianism - the ambition to redeem a people and restore a land. The first cycle of Grail romances features a two-fold mission for the quester (the Grail hero):
