"In a magisterial work, Jaan Puhvel unravels the prehistoric
Indo-Euopean origins of the traditions of India and Iran, Greece
and Rome, of the Celts, Germans, Balts, and Slavs. Utilizing the
methodologies of historical linguistics and archaeology, he
reconstructs a shared religious, mytholoigcal, and cultural
heritage. Separate chapters on individual traditions as well as
on recurrent thees - god and warrior, king and virgin, fire and
water - give life to "Comparative Mythology" as both a general
introduction and a detaled reference."
