We now have at our disposal six fragments of the myth. The largest and most important fragment, from Amarna, is dated to the 14th century B.C.E. This fragment of the Adapa myth has red-tinted points applied on the tablet at specific intervals. Izre?el draws attention to a few of these points that were missed in previous publications by Knudtzon and Schroeder. Five other fragments were part of the Assurbanipal library and are representative of this myth as it was known in Assyria about seven centuries later.The discovery of the myth of Adapa and the South Wind immediately attracted wide attention. Its ideology and its correspondence to the intellectual heritage of Western religions precipitated flourishing studies of this myth, both philological and substantive. Many translations have appeared during the past century, shedding light on various aspects of the myth and its characters. Izre?el unveils the myth of Adapa and the South Wind as mythos, as story. To do this, he analyzes the underlying concepts through extensive treatment of form. He offers an edition of the extant fragments of the myth, including the transliterated Akkadian text, a translation, and a philological commentary. The analysis of poetic form that follows leads to understanding the myth as a piece of literature and to uncovering its meanings. This study therefore marks a new phase in the long, extensive research into this Mesopotamian myth. 410 0$aMesopotamian civilizations ;$v10. 606 $aAssyro-Babylonian poetry$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00819253 606 $aAdapa (Assyro-Babylonian mythology)$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00796463 606 $aAdapa (Assyro-Babylonian mythology) 606 $aAssyro-Babylonian poetry$xHistory and criticism 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 615 7$aAssyro-Babylonian poetry. 615 7$aAdapa (Assyro-Babylonian mythology) 615 7$aAdapa (Assyro-Babylonian mythology) 615 7$aAssyro-Babylonian poetry$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a299/.21 700 $aIzre'el$b Shlomo$0645823 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823031403321 996 $aAdapa and the South Wind$94015062 997 $aUNINA
