Mesopotamia, 3rd millennium BC For generations, Akkad has been at war with the neighboring realm of Subartu. Behind the two Mesopotamian powers stand the sun god Marduk in Akkad, while Ishtar, goddess of the night, love, and war, reigns in Subartu. The thunder god Addad exploits their never-ending, unwinnable war to his own ends. Subartu ́s Queen Semiramis travels in secret deep into hostile Akkad to win over King Sargon and form an alliance to defend the holy city of Nineveh from an impending attack by the thunder god. But even before Semiramis can offer her alliance to the Akkadians, the sinister helpers of the thunder god strike. A race against time begins, threatening to end in the subjugation of all mankind.

When Queen Semiramis and King Sargon arrive in Nineveh, they find a city long weaned from war. Against the will of the city council, Akkadian generals Ezira and Senezon build a defensive army. Nineveh's inhabitants are suspicious of their queen's alliance with the Akkadians, their former foes, and take every opportunity to disgrace them before Semiramis. Semiramis and Sargon do not suspect that the thunder god Addad is well informed of their preparations. Sowing discord behind the scenes, he stirs the tribes against each other until open conflict erupts in the city. Now Addad's time has come. Even the mighty walls of Niniveh cannot stand before his attacking troops.

Ishtar is the first book dedicated to providing an accessible analysis of the mythology and image of this complex goddess. The polarity of her nature is reflected in her role as goddess of sexual love and war, and has made her difficult to characterise in modern scholarship. By exploring this complexity, Ishtar offers insight into Mesopotamian culture and thought, and elucidates a goddess who transcended the limits of gender, divinity and nature. It gives an accessible introduction to the Near Eastern pantheon, while also opening a pathway for comparison with the later Near Eastern and Mediterranean deities who followed her.

Ancient Hindus had good contacts with the people of the Middle Eastern countries and beyond even 3000 years ago. The Vedic references to several places in the Middle East and the origin of Zoroastrian religion of Iran are well researched by a number of scholars. Vedic Sanskrit names and words found in the Sumerian civilization and Persian civilization raised many questions. About 150 years ago Western scholars advocated the theory of Civilization’s Eastward March Now the scholars have reversed it and it was a westward march.

This Handbook is a state-of-the-field volume containing diverse approaches to sensory experience, bringing to life in an innovative, remarkably vivid, and visceral way the lives of past humans through contributions that cover the chronological and geographical expanse of the ancient Near East. It comprises thirty-two chapters written by leading international contributors that look at the ways in which humans, through their senses, experienced their lives and the world around them in the ancient Near East, with coverage of Anatolia, Egypt, the Levant, Mesopotamia, Syria, and Persia, from the Neolithic through the Roman period. It is organised into six parts related to sensory contexts: Practice, production, and taskscape; Dress and the body; Ritualised practice and ceremonial spaces; Death and burial; Science, medicine, and aesthetics; and Languages and semantic fields. In addition to exploring what makes each sensory context unique, this organisation facilitates cross-cultural and cross-chronological, as well as cross-sensory and multisensory comparisons and discussions of sensory experiences in the ancient world. In so doing, the volume also enables considerations of senses beyond the five-sense model of Western philosophy (sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell), including proprioception and interoception, and the phenomena of synaesthesia and kinaesthesia. The Routledge Handbook of the Senses in the Ancient Near East provides scholars and students within the field of ancient Near Eastern studies new perspectives on and conceptions of familiar spaces, places, and practices, as well as material culture and texts. It also allows scholars and students from adjacent fields such as Classics and Biblical Studies to engage with this material, and is a must-read for any scholar or student interested in or already engaged with the field of sensory studies in any period.

Animals are worshipped in India in many ways: as deities—the elephant-god Ganesha and the monkey-god Hanuman; as avatars—like Vishnu’s fish, tortoise and boar forms; and as vahanas—the swan, bull, lion and tiger were all vehicles of major deities and are thus sacred by association. Some animals, like the snake, are worshipped out of fear. Birds such as the crow are associated with the abode of the dead, or the souls of ancestors, while the cow’s sanctity may derive from its economic value. There are also hero-animals, such as the vanaras, and animals which were totemic symbols of tribes that were assimilated into Vedic Hinduism. Sacred Animals of India draws on the ancient religious traditions of India—Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism—to explore the customs and practices that engendered the veneration of animals in India. This book also examines the traditions that gave animals in India protection, and is a reminder of the role of animal species in the earth’s biodiversity.

The Age of Agade is the first book-length study of the Akkadian period of Mesopotamian history, which saw the rise and fall of the world’s first empire during more than a century of extraordinary political, social, and cultural innovation. It draws together more than 40 years of research by one of the world’s leading experts in Assyriology to offer an exhaustive survey of the Akkadian empire. Addressing all aspects of the empire, including its statecraft and military, territory and cities, arts, religion, economy, and production, The Age of Agade considers what can be said of Akkadian political and social history, material culture, and daily life. A final chapter also explores how the empire has been presented in modern historiography, from the decipherment of cuneiform to the present, including the extensive research of Soviet historians, summarized here in English for the first time. Drawing on contemporaneous written and artifactual sources, as well as relevant materials from succeeding generations, Foster introduces the reader to the wealth of evidence available. Accessibly written by a specialist in the field, this book is an engaging examination of a critical era in the history of early Mesopotamia.
