This volume aims to broaden our understanding of the related genres of parables fables and similes in the Graeco-Roman world. These genres which make use of narrative analogy appear in early Christian and ancient Jewish literatures and in various Graeco-Roman sources. However despite the fact that these texts were part of the wider cultural context of Graeco-Roman antiquity they have not yet been thoroughly studied in relation to each other. The present volume brings together contributions on a range of Graeco-Roman Jewish and Christian sources so as to contribute to the study of parables fables and similes across disciplinary boundaries. The contributions highlight the fluid boundaries between these different genres but also demonstrate how their adoption and adaption in different literary works give expression to the distinct identities of the composers.
