Long abstractChapter 1 reviews both ancient sources and modern scholarship dealing with a possible Greek influence in Sanskrit theater. It also explains the theoretical (Theory of Tradition and Theory of Adaptation) and methodological (Cultural Contacts) bases for the analysis. A key discussion is that of “proving” influences and borrowings, a subject that is reformulated in terms of “plausibility”.
