Book Overview

With newly told tales and a new introduction, this is a delightful collection of legendary stories from the distant, ancient worlds of Sumer and Babylon.

Tales from a crucible of civilization - the pocket between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers where language, astronomy, religion and mythology grew from some of the earliest cultures known to humankind. Undiscovered until 200 years ago, the stories, hymns and ancient king lists of Sumer and Babylon reveal a rich culture of city states, each with their own gods and tales of floods, adventures, the heavens and the netherworld. From myths of creation and love, and tales of Nisaba (Goddess of Writing) and Inana (or Ishtar), to stories of Everyday Folk and the famous Epic of Gilgamesh, this brand new collection offers lively and evocative tales retold by contemporary storytellers Fiona Collins and June Peters, and introduced by expert Professor Martin Worthington.
