Enki and Ninhursaga, Part Two (original) (raw)

This work presents an analysis of the narrative structure and ideological implications of the interactions between Enki and Ninhursaga within a mythological context. It argues that the relationship is portrayed through marital conflicts, reflecting a deliberate deviation from mythological tradition to elevate Enki's status in the Babylonian pantheon. The study examines the significance of specific episodes and their origins, and how these contribute to the overall themes of power dynamics and divine relationships within Mesopotamian mythology.
