Scholars Robert Graves and Raphael Patai analyze the biblical book of Genesis in terms of Ancient Near Eastern mythology. It includes the notes and references required by scholars, yet most educated readers will find it accessible. Each chapter recounts one story, or “myth,” in prose form, synthesized from various traditions in addition to the biblical text. This is followed by commentary on the story, drawing parallels to Greek, Babylonian, Egyptian, and other myths and literatures. ( )
Fascinating and scholarly alternate versions and interpretations of the stories in Genesis, drawn from the Apocrypha and post-Biblical sacred documents, such as the Midrashim. This book both provides additional stories, such as of Adam's other wives, and makes Biblical stories, such as the cursing of Noah's son Ham, more understandable by explaining what was excised (literally).
