Since the spectacular discovery of Nineveh 150 years ago, countless
excavators have been searching for the lost civilizations of the
ancient Near East. We now know the names of thousands of gods and
goddesses, the words of hymns and litanies, the daily procedures of
the Babylonian cult, as well as a growing number of mythological
tales. A substantial number of the texts discussed in this volume
originate from the archives of such ancient cities as Ninevah, Ur,
Babylon and Hattusa. Through a collection of accessible entries,
which provide sufficient detail and cross-referencing to be
beneficial to the specialist reader, Gwendolyn Leick has produced a
guide to the complex and little-known world of ancient mythology.
