Description

The Enuma Elish: A Babylonian Creation Epic The Enuma Elish begins with the words 'ENUMA ELISH', meaning 'WHEN THE HEAVENS ABOVE...', marking the start of a mystic tale that delves into the primordial sea and the gods' struggle for power. This ancient epic tells the story of the universe's creation, the emergence of the gods, and the role of humanity in shaping the natural world. The Enuma Elish is a fascinating account of the gods' actions, including the mighty slayer of the creature Tiamat, and the tale of the Great Flood that brought about the survival of one man. This ancient text has had a lasting impact on the pages of the Book of Genesis, and its stories continue to appeal to readers with their strange and incredible tale. This First Edition paperback presents the Enuma Elish in its original form, offering a unique insight into the Babylonian Creation Epic and its enduring influence on mythology and literature.
