Mesopotamian Mythology - Hardcover Book

Jean Bottéro and Samuel Noah Kramer, authors of Mesopotamian Mythology, are the first experts that come to mind when it comes to Ancient Near Eastern civilizations. Two world-famous authors compiled, translated and interpreted fifty myths that have survived to the present day, among the oldest myths discovered in Mesopotamia, which was the cradle of the oldest known civilizations. The work you have in your hand is not only the most comprehensive and complete compilation translated into Turkish, but also a rare work in the world. In the words of its authors: “Although Assyriologists have worked extensively on the texts related to Ancient Mesopotamian myths and have achieved very positive results, they have never thought of bringing all these documents together until now. However, in this way, they could better reveal the development of the thoughts, the 'logic' of those who produced these myths, and the worldview and sensitivity they embodied in these texts.” In these documents, the oldest of which dates back to the third millennium BC, the answers that people have given within their means to the great and universal questions that they have been asking since the beginning are conveyed in a striking style that maintains its liveliness today.
