Book Synopsis Babylonian Creation Myths by : Wilfred G. Lambert
Download or read book Babylonian Creation Myths written by Wilfred G. Lambert and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For much of the last half of the twentieth century, W. G. Lambert devoted much of his research energy and effort to the study of Babylonian texts dealing with Mesopotamian ideas regarding creation, including especially Enuma Elish. This volume, which appears almost exactly 2 years after Lambert’s death, distills a lifetime of learning by the world’s foremost expert on these texts. Lambert provides a full transliteration and translation of the 7 tablets of Enuma Elish, based on the known exemplars, as well as coverage of a number of other texts that bear on, or are thought to bear on, Mesopotamian notions of the origin of the world, mankind, and the gods. New editions of seventeen additional “creation tales” are provided, including “Enmesharra’s Defeat,” “Enki and Ninmah,” “The Slaying of Labbu,” and “The Theogony of Dunnu.” Lambert pays special attention, of course, to the connection of the main epic, Enuma Elish, with the rise and place of Marduk in the Babylonian pantheon. He traces the development of this deity’s origin and rise to prominence and elaborates the relationship of this text, and the others discussed, to the religious and political climate Babylonia. The volume includes 70 plates (primarily hand-copies of the various exemplars of Enuma Elish) and extensive indexes.

Download or read book The Babylonian Legends of the Creation written by Wallis Budge and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A creation myth is a symbolic narrative of how the world began and how people first came to inhabit it. They develop in oral traditions and therefore typically have multiple versions; and they are the most common form of myth, found throughout human culture. In the society in which it is told, a creation myth is usually regarded as conveying profound truths, metaphorically, symbolically and sometimes even in a historical or literal sense. They are commonly, although not always, considered cosmogonical myths—that is they describe the ordering of the cosmos from a state of chaos or amorphousness.Creation myths often share a number of features. They often are considered sacred accounts and can be found in nearly all known religious traditions. They are all stories with a plot and characters who are either deities, human-like figures, or animals, who often speak and transform easily. They are often set in a dim and nonspecific past, what historian of religion Mircea Eliade termed in illo tempore ("at that time"). Also, all creation myths speak to deeply meaningful questions held by the society that shares them, revealing of their central worldview and the framework for the self-identity of the culture and individual in a universal context.

Download or read book The Babylonian Legends of Creation (Illustrated) written by E. A. Budge and published by . This book was released on 2016-12-07 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of The Babylonian Legends of Creation possesses the author's original and crucial charts, artifact and tablet photographs, illustrations and cuneiform. Vital for understanding the roots of Babylonian society, this text summarizes each of the tablets detailing Babylonian beliefs regarding the world's creation. E. A. Wallis Budge undertook an immense investigation of the creation myths first uncovered by archaeological excavations during the 19th century. These myths were etched upon seven tablets of stone, all of which were covered in cuneiform script; one of the earliest forms of writing. As one of the oldest religious writings in existence, the Babylonian creation myths - also known as En�ma Elis - reveal a society steeped in religious belief and ritualistic culture. The two Gods, Marduk and Tiamat, battle with one another for supremacy - amid the fighting, the world is created. Marduk, as the ultimate victor, becomes King of the Gods. Within Budge's outstanding treatise are sequential explanations of the individual tablets. These are followed with a line-by-line translation to English of each. This narrative is supplemented by photographs of Babylonian artifacts plus the tablets themselves. Also appended at the conclusion of this edition are notes which further explain the characters and deities referred to in the Babylonian cuneiform script. A landmark text in archaeology by one of the British Museum's best regarded scholars of the ancient world, The Babylonian Legends of Creation remains a valuable and worthy addition to any enthusiast's library.
