Râma and Homer: An Argument that in the Indian Epics Homer Found the Theme of His Two Great Poems

Râma and Homer An Argument that in the Indian Epics Homer Found the Theme of His Two Great Poems (1912) by Arthur Lillie explores the idea that the themes of Homer's epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, were inspired by the Indian epics, particularly the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Lillie argues that elements of the Indian stories, such as heroic battles, divine intervention, and the journey motif, were borrowed or mirrored in Greek mythology. This book suggests cultural and thematic connections between ancient Greek and Indian epic traditions, challenging conventional views on literary origins.
