Hello,

I hope this email finds you well.

My name is Raegan and I'm the Marketing Assistant at Open Book Publishers. I'm
reaching out to share the exciting news about the publication of *The
Embassy, the Ambush, and the Ogre*
<https://6b9383xt.r.eu-west-2.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fwww.openbookpublishers.com%2Fbooks%2F10.11647%2Fobp.0417/1/010b01919d5cb50a-9f15be4b-c178-4337-8a2d-0aa24615087d-000000/wp8QfM9Lnb1WMTUTQmMiN9B7tXc=173>
 by Roberto Morales-Harley.

*About the Book  *

This volume presents a sophisticated and intricate examination of the
parallels between Sanskrit and Greco-Roman literature. By means of a
philological and literary analysis, Morales-Harley hypothesizes that
Greco-Roman literature was known, understood, and recreated in India.
Moreover, it is argued that the techniques for adapting epic into theater
could have been Greco-Roman influences in India, and that some of the
elements adapted within the literary motifs (specifically the motifs of the
embassy, the ambush, and the ogre) could have been Greco-Roman borrowings
by Sanskrit authors.

This book draws on a wide variety of sources, including Iliad, Phoenix,
Rhesus and Cyclops (Greco-Roman) as well as Mahābhārata, The Embassy, The
Five Nights and The Middle One (Sanskrit). The result is a well-supported
argument which presents us with the possibility of cultural exchange
between the Greco-Roman world and India – a possibility which, though
hypothetical, is worth acknowledging.

Due to its comparative nature, this volume will appeal to both Indologists
and Classicists, including Mahābhārata scholars, Sanskrit theater scholars,
and those interested in comparative work with Sanskrit literature. It
brings an original perspective to the field, and provides inspiration for
new lines of research.
