Beschreibung
"A real addition to the body of world mythology."-American Anthropologist "No people has contributed more to the culture of mankind than the Sumerians, and yet it has been only in recent years that our knowledge of them has become at all accurate or extensive. [This book is] our first authoritative sketch of the great myths of the Sumerians, their myths of origins, of creation, the nether world, and the deluge. The book ... makes entrancing reading and for the general reader it opens up a whole new vista undreamed of before."-Theophile J. Meek
