Contents:

1. Story of Menelaus 2. Story of Achilles 3. The story of Ulysses 4. Story of the "Ramayana" 5. Story of Rama (continues): In the forest 6. Rama's Bridge 7. Evidence of Dion Chrysosiomos 8. The evidence of the " Zend Avesta" 9. The evidence from Greece 10. Animal worship 11. A pregnant discovery 12. Colonel Tod

Summary: The work is a most lively and readable repudiation of European scholars, led by Weber, contesting that homer and lliad exerted an impact on the Ramayana and the Mahabharata respectively. Lillie sought not only to refute Weber, a close friend of Max Muller, and a host of indologists but also to prove that the Indian epics exerted a profound impact on the lliad and the Odyssey. Lillie drew upon a wide range of sources and essentially argued that the similarities mentioned by Jones, Monier-williams, Weber, Fauche, and other scholars pointed to the inescapable conclusion that the Mahabharata and Ramayana influenced homer. The Indian epics, and not the Homeric poems, were the originals.
