Mythology of the Near East The genre of Near Eastern mythology encompasses a rich history of myth and legend from a variety of ancient civilizations, including the Assyrian, Babylonian, Canaanite, and Hebrew traditions. For the purpose of this web page I chose to focus primarily on the intriguing myths of ancient Mesopotamia; however, the links at the end of the page provide a wealth of information about the literature, religious beliefs and history of various other cultural regions of the Near East. Myths and Legends of Mesopotamia Mesopotamia is a fertile, alluvial plain which lies between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in what is now modern day Iraq. Since 3000 BC, Mesopotamia has been the heartland of numerous civilizations throughout time. The ancient societies that flourished there were largely urban communities supported by agriculture and pastoralism. Two of the most prominent civilizations of Mesopotamia were Assyria which was in the north-east and Babylonia in the south. Most of what we know about the peoples of these ancient lands we have learned from studying the vast collection of clay tablets that they left behind. On these tablets they recorded everything from the number of livestock a farmer owned to popular stories of the time. The telling and writing of stories and myths was an essential part of everyday life for the people of Mesopotamia. Stories were told as a means of entertainment in the courts of kings and as a way to pass the time during long caravan rides. It was the job of scribes, people who record stories in writing, to get the oral forms into written texts. These texts were often used for ritual and incantation. Many of the famous author/scribes were also priests. The tablets are written in Akkadian which is wedge-shaped (cuneiform) script.

Reading the Past: Ancient Writing from Cuneiform to the Alphabet I've loved books on the history of writing systems ever since i was little. The chapters have been previously published as booklets by various authors on Cuneiform, Egyptian, Canaanite-Phoenician, Minoan, Greek, and Etruscan. The section The Early Alphabet begins with Proto-Sinaitic/Proto-Canaanite, then to cuneiform Ugaritic to alpu-betic Phoenician, through the development of Hebrew, Arabic, and Greek alphabets from it, eventually leading to the Roman alphabet most Europeans and Anglophones use (and the Vietnamese, and the Indonesians, and ... ); and also to Cyrillic and its off-shoots.
