Document Details : Title: Berossos, Antiochos und die Babyloniaka Author(s): BACH, Johannes Journal: Ancient West & East Volume: 12 Date: 2013 Pages: 157-180 DOI: 10.2143/AWE.12.0.2994446 Abstract : The first part of this paper discusses the chronological framework of Berossus and the Babyloniaca. The results suggest a birth of Berossus not under Alexander the Great but under Alexander IV, and open up the possibility of the Babyloniaca being presented not to Antiochus I but to Antiochus II. The second part undertakes to examine a possible application of Alan Lenzi’s theory of a ‘Mythology of scribal succession’ to the case of the Babyloniaca. For this, an analysis of the first two books of the Babyloniaca and discussions of views alternative views to parts of Lenzi’s model are offered. |
