The Enigma of Sumerian Gods
Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này
Borsippa's temple continued to flourish after the Persian conquest. It is almost impossible to trace the significance of Nebo's original significance, despite his having outlived many of the greater gods. The scribe of the gods, whether solar or aqueous-the latter seems more likely-he was regarded during Merodach's ascendancy much as Thoth was the scribe of the otherworld in Egypt-that is, he wrote at the dictation of the higher deities. He chronicled the speeches and deliberations of the gods in the Chamber of Fates at Merodach's temple in Sumer. He had a shrine in the temple of E-Sagila, or 'the lofty house,' which was also known as E-Zila, or 'the firm house.' Once during the New Year festival, Nebo was carried from Borsippa to Sumer to his father's temple, and in return, Merodach escorted him back to his shrine in the lesser city. I find it strange how closely the cults of these two gods are intertwined.
