Abstract:

Since the beginning of Indo-European Studies, linguists have attempted
to reconstruct aspects of the Indo-European traditions that go beyond
the ‘atomic’ dimensions of related languages, such as inherited
aspects of Indo-European texts and traits shared by cognate pantheons
and narratives. The chapters in this volume address these very aspects
of cultural reconstruction.

Interdisciplinary case-studies on poetic features, religion and
mythology of several ancient Indo-European languages (Ancient Greek,
Latin and Italic, Hittite, Phrygian, Sanskrit, Avestan, Old Norse, Old
Irish and Old Russian) work at the intersection of linguistic
reconstruction and philology. The results of these investigations shed
new light on a variety of aspects, ranging from obscure etymologies to
the reconstruction of the genetic link among entire Indo-European
myths.
