Neo-Assyrian and Greek Divination in War focuses on all divinatory
practices which were used in the ancient Near East and Greece in
time of war. Divination was a practical way of discovering the will
of the gods, and enabled human contact with the divine. Divinatory
practices were crucial to decision-taking. The results of
divination were especially important during war. This book
concentrates on the methods used to obtain all possible information
from the divine world which could impact on the results of war.
Knowledge of divine plans, verdicts and favors would ensure
victory, power and eternal glory. This book is also about the
convergence of the ancient Near East and Greek divinatory systems,
methods and practices. Step by step, it points out that the Greeks
treated divination in a very similar way to the Mesopotamians, and
presents the possible routes of transmission of this divine
knowledge, which was practiced in both cultures by a group of
well-trained professionals.
