Composed in the third century A.D., the Trojan Epic is the earliest surviving literary evidence for many of the traditions of the Trojan War passed down from ancient Greece. Also known as the Posthomerica, or "sequel to Homer," the Trojan Epic chronicles the course of the war after the burial of Troy's greatest hero, Hektor. Quintus, believed to have been an educated Greek living in Roman Asia Minor, included some of the war's most legendary events: the death of Achilles, the Trojan Horse, and the destruction of Troy. But because Quintus deliberately imitated Homer's language and style, his work has been dismissed by many scholars as pastiche. A vivid and entertaining story in its own right, the Trojan Epic is also particularly significant for what it reveals about its sources—the much older, now lost Greek epics about the Trojan War known collectively as the Epic Cycle. Written in the Homeric era, these poems recounted events not included in the Iliad or the Odyssey. As Alan James makes clear in this vibrant and faithful new translation, Quintus's work deserves attention for its literary-historical importance and its narrative power. James's line-by-line verse translation in English reveals the original as an exciting and eloquent tale of gods and heroes, bravery and cunning, hubris and brutality. James includes a substantial introduction which places the work in its literary and historical context, a detailed and annotated book-by-book summary of the epic, a commentary dealing mainly with sources, and an explanatory index of proper names. Brilliantly revitalized by James, the Trojan Epic will appeal to a wide range of readers interested in Greek mythology and the legend of Troy.

This is the first in-depth study of the Israelite prohibition of images in the light of comparative material from the surrounding cultures. The author proposes a distinction between tolerant de facto aniconism and programmatic aniconism and argues that there was a development from West Semitic de facto aniconism (cults focussed on aniconic stelae) to programmatic aniconism (Israelite iconoclasm and the prohibition in the decalogue). Aniconism as such is found to be a conventional practice in several West Semitic cultures; the development into programmatic aniconism is, however, an Israelite phenomenon. There were two main forms of aniconism in the ancient Near East: material aniconism (aniconic symbols such as stelae, masseboth) and empty-space aniconism (empty thrones). Various cultures in the ancient Near East yield important comparative material. The emphasis is on West Semitic cults with open-air cult places (high places, bamoth), which had sacrificial slaughter and a sacral meal shared by the participants and their god (represented by an aniconic stele), in contrast with Mesopotamian temples, with the care and feeding of the gods (represented by a cultic image). The author deals with the following cultural areas: Egypt, Mesopotamia, Syria, Phoenicia, Arabia, the Nabatean domain, and Palestine.

This masterly book is the climax of over twenty-five years of study of the impact of Canaanite religion and mythology on ancient Israel and the Old Testament. It is John Day's magnum opus in which he sets forth all his main arguments and conclusions on the subject. The work considers in detail the relationship between Yahweh and the various gods and goddesses of Canaan, including the leading gods El and Baal, the great goddesses (Asherah, Astarte and Anat), astral deities (Sun, Moon and Lucifer), and underworld deities (Mot, Resheph, Molech and the Rephaim). Day assesses both what Yahwism assimilated from these deities and what it came to reject. More generally he discusses the impact of Canaanite polytheism on ancient Israel and how monotheism was eventually achieved.
