书籍简介

Myths from Mesopotamia (Oxford World's Classics)古代美索不达米亚神话的最佳学术版本，完整、全面地包括了创世、洪水、吉尔伽美什和其他故事。这新译本包括引言，书目，年表，词汇表，注释，地图，插图。

牛津大学出版社1906年开始出版Oxford World's Classics（“牛津英文经典”）系列丛书，将经典的文学、戏剧作品介绍给学生和大众读者，丛书邀请学者撰写导读、编写注释、参考书目和作家年表，并附有地图、插图、信件等其他信息。

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 broadest spectrum 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, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
