The narrative riches of Enuma Elish are given new life through a new translation and a dazzling array of supporting literature. This is a truly indispensable guide to navigating this ancient literary masterpiece. * Louise Pryke, Research Associate, University of Sydney, Australia * The Library of Babylonian Literature is a ground-breaking new series that should be welcomed by students, academics and the general public alike. * Christopher Metcalf, Associate Professor in Classical Languages and Literature, University of Oxford, UK * This volume sets an ambitious standard for the new series. It is a carefully crafted rendering of the text seen and heard in all its poetic value and contextualized in its social and cultural setting through a series of interacting essays. There is an impressive small pantheon of scholars contributing to a fuller understanding of one of the most influential pieces of Mesopotamian literature. * Giorgio Buccellati, Professor Emeritus of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, University of California, Los Angeles, USA *
