Myths of Babylonia and Assyria
Tungkol sa audiobook na ito
This audiobook deals with the myths and legends of Babylonia and Assyria, and as these reflect the civilization in which they develop, a historical narrative has been provided, beginning with the early Sumerian Age and concluding with the periods of the Persian and Grecian Empires.
Because the primary documents had only been deciphered a few decades prior to the writing of this book, Mackenzie necessarily has to round out the exposition with a detailed history of the region, Biblical accounts, and speculative cross-cultural comparisons, particularly to Hindu and Northern European mythology and folklore.
