Myth and Politics in Ancient Near Eastern Historiography Paperback / softback
by Mario Liverani
Edited by Zainab Bahrani, Marc Van De Mieroop
Part of the Studies in Egyptology & the Ancient Near East series
Paperback / softback
Description
The essays collected in this volume represent a selection of studies, previously published mainly in Italian, that make explicit use of anthropological and semiological tools in order to analyze important texts of historical nature from various regions of the Ancient Near East.
They suggest that these historiographical texts were of a 'true' historical nature, and that the literary forms and mental models employed were very apt at accomplishing the intended results.
Two different aspects are especially emphasized: myth and politics.
