In dealing with a wide range of aspects of the life, activities,
and customs of the Late Bronze Age Hittite world, this book
complements the treatment of Hittite military and political history
presented by the author in The Kingdom of the Hittites (OUP, 1998).
It aims to convey to the reader a sense of what it was like to live
amongst the people of the Hittite world, to participate in their
celebrations, to share their crises, to meet them in the streets of
the capital or in their homes, to experience the sights, sounds,
and smells of a healing ritual, to attend an audience with the
Great King, and to follow his progress in festival processions to
the holy places of the Hittite land. Through quotations from the
original sources and through the word pictures to which these give
rise, the book aims at recreating, as far as is possible, the daily
lives and experiences of a people who for a time became the supreme
political and military power in the ancient Near East.
