DESCRIPTION:Descents to the Underworld from Gilgamesh to Christian Late An
 tiquity\nThe lecture will trace the development of the idea of a descent i
 nto the  underworld. It will argue that Assyria had an important influence
  both  on Greece and Israel\; witness figures like Odysseus\, Heracles\, O
 rpheus\,  but also Ezekiel and Enoch. The two traditions of Greece and Isr
 ael\,  originally separate\, come together in early Christianity\, where t
 he  genre of the descent to Hell developed through Late Antiquity\, before
   gradually disintegrating during the earlier and High Middle Ages.
