Summary

This chapter investigates the links between the Akkadian poem Etana, the fragmentary Lykambes epode of the archaic Greek poet Archilochus, and the Aesopic fable of The Eagle and the Fox, carefully assessing both similarities and differences in these sources as well as in further, related Greek material, and also considering the possibility of further versions of Etana in India, Egypt and the folklore of the Baltic region. Taken together, these reflections lead to a distinction, in particular, between a floating motif model and a fixed text model of transmission, both of which may be discernible in the various manifestations of Etana in Greece and beyond.
