His far-reaching assessment provides fresh illumination of the forces of interaction and change that transformed the Indo-European linguistic and cultural heritage into distinctly Greek social institutions between the eighth and the fifth centuries B.C.E.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNagy's major essays on various aspects of the Hellenization of Indo-European poetics, myth and ritual, and social ideology, examine the Greek language as a reflection of society, with special attention to its function as a vehicle for transmitting mythology and poetics. His emphasis on the language of the Greeks, and on comparison with the testimony of related Indo-European languages such as Latin, Indic, and Hittite, reflects his long-standing interest in Indo-European linguistics. Altogether, the second edition of Greek Mythology and Poetics is a path-breaking application of the principles of social anthropology, comparative mythology, historical linguistics, and the study of oral traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49535663276259,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9781501782336-1.jpg?v=1788508747","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9781501782336","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
