About the book

This collection presents stories from the great civilisations of Mesopotamia and the surrounding regions. The myths include gods, creation stories, heroic struggles and explanations of the natural and divine worlds. They reveal the religious imagination of societies such as the Sumerians, Babylonians and Assyrians and provide important background to later Mediterranean traditions.
