Semitic Influence in Hellenic Mythology is a book written by Robert Brown that explores the influence of Semitic culture on the mythology of ancient Greece. The book examines the similarities and differences between Semitic and Hellenic mythologies, and argues that the two cultures had a significant impact on each other. Brown discusses the historical context of the time period, and how the interactions between Semitic and Hellenic cultures led to the blending of their mythological traditions. The book also delves into specific examples of Semitic influence on Hellenic mythology, such as the story of Demeter and Persephone, and the figure of Dionysus. Overall, Semitic Influence in Hellenic Mythology offers a fascinating look at the interconnectedness of different cultures and how they shape one another's beliefs and stories.1898. With special reference to the recent mythological works of the Rt. Hon. Prof. F. Max Muller and Mr. Andrew Lang. The leaders in England of two schools of mythology, based mainly in the one case on Aryan linguistics and in the other on anthropology, had recently published their revised, and probably final, conclusions. The author decided the time seemed opportune for a statement of the principles of a third school which Brown styled the Aryo-Semitic. This volume is divided into three Parts: Professor Max Muller's last pronouncement on mythology; Mr. Lang's latest attack upon Professor Muller; and Aryo-Semitic school of Hellenic mythologists.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
