Abstract

This paper attempts to analyze the presence of the Greek world in the Testament of Abraham, a pseudepigraphic text composed between the second century BC and the second century AD. The author was most probably an anonymous Jew born in Egypt. The work was transmitted in two recensions, A and B. Its main characters are found in the Hebrew Bible: Abraham, Sarah and their son Isaac, and the archangel Gabriel. The work presents apocalyptic elements, features from Orphism, and the unmistakable hallmark of Homer’s description of the vision of the world in the 10th chapter of recension A.
