Myths of Babylon - World's Greatest Myths & Legends
Author: Jake Jackson (Editor)
With creation myths, quests, flood stories, mighty battles between gods and humanity, and journeys to the underworld, the legends of Babylon are the source of many of the great religious and heroic tales in the crucible of civilisation. As humankind settled by the river systems of the Euphrates and the Tig...  more », they began to control their environment, building the first city-states and creating the first written languages. They told their exploits in such fantastic stories as The Epic of Gilgamesh, which is the best known of many offered in this fascinating collection, gathered from a civilisation with its origins in the Assyrian and Sumerian peoples of nearly 5,000 years ago.

Part of a series on The World's Greatest Myths and Legends, these books capture the mystery and drama of ancient legends through all the key stories and folk tales featuring gods, heroes, monsters and animals, as well as common themes such as creation, love, death and courage. Each book features an introduction to the history, landscape, characters and culture of the mythology.
