The ancient civilization of Mesopotamia thrived between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates over 4,000 years ago. The myths collected here, originally written in cuneiform on clay tablets, include parallels with the biblical stories of the Creation and the Flood, and the famous Epic of Gilgamesh, the tale of a man of great strength, whose heroic quest for immortality is dashed through one moment of weakness. Recent developments in Akkadian grammar and lexicography mean that this new translation, complete with notes, a glossary of deities, place-names, and key terms, and illustrations of the mythical monsters featured in the text, will replace all other versions. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

不同時期的文本拼在一起確實是個問題
評分不同時期的文本拼在一起確實是個問題
評分創世泥闆《Enuma Elish》,又名:失眠引發的血案。看來古巴比倫人真的很討厭吵鬧,原初之神Apsu嫌生下的神太多太吵,決定滅掉自己的子孫,結果被孩子EA反殺。二代眾神嫌EA的兒子Marduk太吵,於是聯閤Tiamat滅瞭EA,結果被Marduk反殺。再後來,Anu嫌人類太吵,決定用洪水和瘟疫滅絕人類。飽受睡眠問題摺磨的蘇美爾——巴比倫人。 可憐的提媽,自己的丈夫要殺自己的孩子結果被反殺瞭,自己為丈夫報仇又被孩子反殺瞭,屍體還被拿來創世,真的慘。 原初之神被自己的創造物殺死,人類會不會也被自己所造之物......“弗蘭肯斯坦”的母題在人類最早的史詩中便齣現瞭,像是個可怕的警示。
評分gilgamesh一部分很好,算是殘片中翻譯的比較多的,比09年牛津的那個還要好
評分把不同版本混在一起,有些亂。
