Description

The epic tales of Ancient Sumer and its successor Babylon are a fascinating journey into our ancient past. A new collection of epic tales from the crucible of civilization, in the pocket between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers where language, astronomy, religion and mythology grew from one of the earliest civilizations known to humankind. Undiscovered until 200 years ago, the myths and stories of Sumer, with King lists earlier than the Ancient Egyptians, reveal a rich culture of city states, each with their own gods, with tales of great floods, mighty gods, the origins of humans and the division between earth, the heavens and the Netherworld. Hardback, Deluxe edition, printed on silver, matt laminated, gold and silver foil stamped, embossed

Author Biography:

Fiona Collins (Foreword) is a storyteller and author. She has been a professional storyteller of myths and legends for over 30 years. She has a special interest in the stories of ancient Sumer, and was a member of Zipang, a storytelling company specializing in stories from Mesopotamia, told in English for modern audiences. Zipang worked closely with Professor Jeremy Black’s Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature. Fiona’s version of ‘Inana’ can be heard on Zipang’s CD ‘Asag: Stories from Ancient Sumer’ (Purple Patch Records). Now living in Wales, she has published eight collections of folktales in both languages of Wales.
