Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from Babylonian and Assyrian Literature: Comprising the Epic of Izdubar, Hymns, Tablets, and Cuneiform Inscriptions

But the interest of Assyrian Literature is not confined to hymns, or even to inscriptions. A nameless poet has left in the imperishable tablets of a Babylonian library an epic poem of great power and beauty. This is the Epic of Izdubar.
