Beskrivelse af Enuma Elish
Enuma Elish: The Epic of Creation is a translation and interpretation of an ancient Mesopotamian myth that tells the story of the creation of the world and the rise of the Babylonian gods. The book is written by L. W. King, an expert in ancient Near Eastern studies, and is based on the original cuneiform tablets that were discovered in the ruins of the ancient city of Nippur. The myth begins with the primordial chaos of the universe, and the emergence of the god Marduk, who is chosen by the other gods to lead them in the battle against the monstrous goddess Tiamat. Marduk defeats Tiamat and creates the world from her body, establishing the order of the universe and the hierarchy of the gods. The book includes a detailed introduction that provides historical and cultural context for the myth, as well as an analysis of its themes and symbolism. The translation is accompanied by notes and commentary that explain the meaning and significance of the text, and provide insights into Mesopotamian religion and mythology. Overall, Enuma Elish: The Epic of Creation is a fascinating exploration of one of the oldest and most influential creation myths in human history, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the ancient Near East, mythology, or comparative religion.When in the height heaven was not named, And the earth beneath did not yet bear a name, And the primeval Apsu, who begat them, And chaos, Tiamut, the mother of them both Their waters were mingled together, And no field was formed, no marsh was to be seen.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
