Acerca de esta escucha

If you're looking for a captivating collection of Mesopotamian myths, then keep reading....

The civilizations that grew up in the Tigris and Euphrates River Valleys many thousands of years ago have left important legacies: agriculture, mathematics, astronomy, the wheel, and writing.

This present volume of Mesopotamian myths is divided into three sections. The first of these contains creation myths, the most extended of which is the Enuma Elish, or Babylonian creation story. In this myth, the god Marduk does battle with the dragon Tiamat, and from her body and that of her second-in-command, he creates the world. The story of Atrahasis involves not original creation but re-creation, since this is the myth of the Great Flood that the gods send to wash everything away. Etana’s tale is less cosmic in nature than the preceding two stories: the act of creation involved is Etana’s attempt to have a child and thus an heir to his throne.

The deeds and foibles of the Mesopotamian gods are on display in the second section, in stories that inform us about the characters of these divinities and which contain themes that tell us something about Mesopotamian concepts of cosmic order. In the first story, the goddess Ishtar decides to visit the Underworld where the goddess Ereshkigal holds sway. When Ereshkigal worries that Ishtar plans to supplant her, she sets a trap that holds Ishtar prisoner until she is rescued. Ereshkigal’s deed has cosmic implications: since Ishtar is a fertility goddess, her imprisonment means that procreation on Earth is suspended.

Matt Clayton did a fabulous job. I would suggest this AUDIBLE to anybody who is engaged in diving deep into human history.

Well done

The writer here accepts you to the boat, assists you to get seated, hands you the poles and then with a gentle push sets you adrift with each story. No glad-handing, toxic, but nice.

An interesting audible

It was very satisfying to see the connections between religious paths and how they have or may have, combined these stories into their own and to extrapolate how these stories have come down into many other cultures not considered but be able to see the themes as they may have changed even up to the present day.

Worth it.
