Extractions: Sacred Texts Ancient Near East Index Previous p. 120 SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES a . The date 2000 B. C. assigned to the clay tablets on which the Sumerian compositions are inscribed should be reduced by about 250 years as a result of recent studies which point to a date as low as about 1750 B. C. for Hammurabi, a key figure in Mesopotamian chronology. b . The number of Sumerian literary tablets and fragments are now known to be approximately five thousand, rather than three thousand. Close to four thousand come from Nippur, if we include the tablets found in the recent joint University Museum-Oriental Institute Expedition (19481952). The Sumerian literary tablets in the Hilprecht Collection of the Friedrich-Schiller University (Jena) have been studied by me in the fall of 1955 and again in 1957; for full details see the study "Sumerische literarische Texte in der Hilprecht-Sammlung" ( , 1955/6, pages 753-763), and History Begins at Sumer (see following note) pages 226-236. A first volume of the Hilprecht Collection, consisting of fifty-seven of the more important tablets and fragments will be published in the near future by the Friedrich-Schiller University and the German Academy of Science. The tablets from Ur, as I learned during a stay in London, are over four hundred in number. Most of these have been copied over the years by C. J. Gadd, and will be published in the course of the next few years. c . The publication of the Sumerian literary works has taken a different form than that projected at the time of the publication of

http://www.mythinglinks.org/NearEast~3monotheisms.html

Extractions: Author's Note: This manifestation of the Divine Feminine, Inanna, also known as Ishtar, Ashtart, Astarte, Asherah (and sometimes identified as Lilith), was at one time honored throughout the Near East. She brought fertility, grace and a woman's wisdom to that ancient world. The later male monotheisms of the region would begin by making her the focus of their bitter hatred as they destroyed her sacred groves, demolished her temples, and strove to disinherit all womankind. [See: Lilith Remembered : a poem by Kathy Robles, added 2 August 2002.] Our planet's Near Eastern region, which includes the so-called "Cradle of Civilization" in the valley between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, is also the flashpoint for the world's only monotheisms. Earth has known countless beliefs and religions, but only three monotheisms; it has known countless tortured power-struggles, but none as savage, pandemic, or self-righteously intractable as those spawned by the monotheisms of the Near East. This page seeks to look at these three siblings, all worshipping the same male deity who gave them a lush Garden and then let them degrade it into Earth's Wasteland, a

Grand Lama During the last fifty years new attention has been paid to the systems of religion of the Eastern world, especially to that of Zoroaster among the Persians, and that which is called Brahmanism and the rival system known as Buddhism in the nations farther east. Especial interest belongs to these inquiries for us, because these religions are religions of the great Aryan race to which we belong. The people among whom they were introduced all used some dialect of the family of language to which our own belongs. Even young readers will take an interest in such books as Clarke's Great Religions and Johnson's Oriental Religions, which are devoted to careful studies of them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_mythology

Extractions: Eleusinian Mysteries Greek mythology comprises the collected narratives of Greek gods, goddesses, heroes, and heroines , originally created and spread within an oral-poetic tradition . Our surviving sources of mythology are literary reworkings of this oral tradition, supplemented by interpretations of iconic imagery, sometimes modern ones, sometimes ancient ones, as myth was a means for later Greeks themselves to throw light on cult practices and traditions that were no longer explicable. The historian must sometimes deduce from hints in imagery, such as in vase paintings, and offhand references the recognition of mythic themes tacitly expressed in cult practice The general issues in studying myths are discussed in the mythography article.
