This book traces the development of Greek civilization from the early creation myths,the appearance of language,and the epics and early thinkers through to the philosophers of the classical period.Each development is compared with Hindu civilisation,for the author maintains that the European tradition is strictly Indo-European,in terms alike of language,symbolism and philosophy. This comparative approach reveals a wealth of concordances between the two civilizations,which in turn provides further insight into both traditions. The origins and periodic disasters of the world, the early rituals,the epic oral traditions,the insights of the prophets and bards,the gods,the soul,birth and death and realisation of the divinity of man himself are revealed afresh. 'Concordia' gives the theoretical and historical background to the development of Indo-European languages.It can therefore also be read as a companion volume to the recently published 'Dhatu-Patha: the Roots of Language' - a basic Sanskrit text which sets out the foundations of the verbal systems of all Indo-European language,containing about 2,200 roots.That volume is the first time it has been made available in the West.
