'...This fascinating study...reveals the same character as a recurring theme in the literatures of many cultures and epochs. Histories and folklores as disparate as those of India, Greece, Russia and Egypt all offer us the same archetype of the shrewd, dishonourable manipulator. Brought together, these myths from divergent traditions shed compelling light upon each other, upon human nature itself, and, not least, upon Shakespeare's own illustrious creation.'
