Olympus : An Indian Retelling of The Greek myths book

 

  • Exploring commonalities: It raises the question of whether connections exist between the mythologies, exploring potential sources such as a common Indo-European root or the exchange of ideas during the Indo-Greek kingdoms after Alexander the Great's arrival.
  • Reversing the gaze: Pattanaik seeks to "reverse the gaze" of Western perspectives on Indic mythology by having an Indian author retell foreign myths.
  • Conceptual differences: The book also addresses fundamental differences between the two traditions, such as the absence of the concept of Karma in Greek mythology and the greater emphasis on drama in Greek tales.
