Edward has given you the relevant bibliography. I want to add only one comment.

Boman's book deserved the criticism. His picture of Greek thought was
essentially drawn from Plato. Back in the 50s I heard a devastating
critique of his portrayal of Greek thought by Benedict Einarson [then at
the University of Chicago]. It is a book that one must use with much
caution on the Greek side--though the Semitic may be better.
