Su importancia es reconocida tanto dentro como fuera del subcontinente indio. Para decirlo con las palabras de F. Edgerton, «ninguna otra colección de cuentos llegó a ser tan popular a lo largo y ancho de la India. Ha sido reelaborada una y otra vez, expandida, resumida, vertida en verso, vuelta a contar en prosa, traducida a las lenguas vernáculas medievales y modernas, y vuelta a traducir al sánscrito».

The book fulfils two principal aims: to highlight the impulse and continuity of a research field that combines Indo-European and Classical Studies, which has generally been recognised for several decades as a very fruitful collaboration, and to provide the academic community with the current results of one of the most important topics of Classical Studies. The first part of the book focuses on the Indo-European tradition, tracking its remnants, particularly in the Classical languages. The Indo-European poetic tradition can be traced through linguistic reconstruction (formulae, onomastics) and some scattered mentions in literary texts. In the second part, the focus is placed on the poetic language in Greece and Rome. The rich and complex tradition of Classical literatures makes a clear-cut description of the inherited or innovative aspects of the religious and literary development more problematical. Ritual or cultic poetry, onomastics, phraseology, paeans and hymns, oracles as divine language, and magic all receive deep and thorough treatment from a reliable ensemble of scholars.

The second chapter includes a study of hunting as a ritual and numinous activity in Anatolia, in classical India, in Greece and in the Celtic tradition. The survival of the constellations associated with the Hunt or the Hunter in the Indian and Greek traditions makes it possible to reconstruct a common Indo-European myth related to the so-called Cosmic Hunt of the Siberian peoples. This is the starting point of the third chapter, which presents comparable cultural elements from Eurasian nomadic traditions, mainly Siberian and of the Turkic-Mongolian stock, but which must also have influenced the common Indo-European imaginary. The Cosmic Elk — equivalent of the Big Dipper—, the Wonderful Deer, the Deer as Mother of the Animals and their corresponding narratives foreshadow basic elements of deer numinosity in the West that support a new interpretation of the data.

This explains the inclusion of the traditional references to Homeric epics, largely related to the so-called Aḫḫiyawa Question. Since much of the history of research in the field of Greek-Anatolian comparison has taken place within these patterns, it is advisable to be familiar with the main milestones of previous research. This will make it possible—as has no doubt already begun to happen—to carry out a rigorous reassessment of those conceptions that are no longer useful, and at the same time to integrate into new lines of interpretation the textual materials thatcontinue to emerge and pose new challenges to researchers. Bibliographical references on archaeology are limited to those that contribute directly to the discussion on the existence of a cultural bridge between Greece and Anatolia. Undoubtedly, one of the basic points on which the whole discussion hinges is that of linguistic contact.

These languages are in a sense a “testing ground” for grammatical theory, since concrete usages often do not easily fit into the available theoretical classifications. In the article we bring together a number of examples, mainly from the Hittite language, which are representative for the discussion of the mutual relations between the categorisation of traditional grammar and the concrete embodiment of grammatical schemes in the texts themselves.

Its definition as ‘sacred drink’ or ‘deified drink’ doesn’t cover the huge range of mythical, ideological and religious connotations shown by its employ among the texts of the R̥gveda. In the present work — mainly based on the excellent description by A. Hillebrandt (1927) — we offer a philologically updated approach to its varied values and functions in the ritual, including into an all-embracing view the most valuable contributions of the research. Next to an Introduction (§ 1) that contains the etymology and a general mythological account, the display structure starts from the most concrete evicences to be found in the texts concerning the identification of the plant (§ 2); below, in an increasing order of abstraction, are exposed the elements constituting the making and offering rituals of the soma (§ 3); the final section pretends to systematize the complex plot of mythological and poetical relations culminating in the ideological and sacral exaltation of soma as ‘king’ (§ 4)

For this purpose we take account of the data derived mainly from the reconstruction of the Indo-European poetic language.

Thus we find our primary task to be the definition of this phenomenon as precise as possible.

Egyptian, West Semitic, Celtic, Greek, Indian and other religions over the world include this iconical archetype. Therefore, it is not surprising that those horned deities are present as well in the Anatolian tradition. Our contribution tries to highlight two hitherto neglected – as far as we know – aspects of the cult of the Anatolian horned deities:
1) Their prehistorical background as developed from the palaeolithic primary “animal religions”: bulls, stags, rams, goats and similar horned animals survived later on associated to the (relative) new secondary numina or holy figures. A prominent example is to be found in the Luvian Stag-God K(u)runtiya (CERVUS2).
2) Their connections with surrounding religions, either as receptacles of wandering motives, or becoming sources of later important religious or mythological figures. The study of the Anatolian horned deities and their background have not yet revealed their promising possibilities showing, for instance, the relation with “animal” deities like Kubaba and Cybele. We think that research in this direction could as well cast light on such an important deity like Artemis Ephesia, related both iconographically and mythologically to the horned deities of Anatolia.
