Aspects of the Transmission History of Marduk and Tiʾamat’s Battle
from Part I - Contexts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2021
This chapter presents some results of the author’s long-term research on an important source for several papers in this volume, the Babylonian creation-epic Enūma eliš, with a focus on its complex relationship with Babylon’s New Year festival as well as on its scholarly exegesis in Babylonian academic treatises. Both aspects, ritual and scholarly, provide important historical contextualisation for Hellenists interested in the affinities between the battle of Marduk and Tiʾamat and Greek theomachies.
