Myths of Babylonia And Assyria

This volume deals with the myths and legends of Babylonia and Assyria, and as these reflect the civilization in which they developed, a historical narrative has been provided, beginning with the early Sumerian Age and concluding with the periods of the Persian and Grecian Empires. Over thirty centuries of human progress are thus passed under review.
A decent introduction and reference work for the religion, culture, history and general background of the ancient Near East by a Scottish journalist
