Being a Man is a formative work which reveals the myriad and
complex negotiations for constructions of masculine identities in
the greater ancient Near East and beyond. Through a juxtaposition
of studies into Neo-Assyrian artistic representations and omens,
biblical hymns and narrative, Hittite, Akkadian, and Indian epic,
as well as detailed linguistic studies on gender and sex in the
Sumerian and Hebrew languages, the book challenges traditional
understandings and assumed homogeneity for what it meant "to be a
man" in antiquity. Being a Man is an indispensable resource for
students of the ancient Near East, and a fascinating study for
anyone with an interest in gender and sexuality throughout history.
