About this book

Gods, heroes and kings of ancient Mesopotamia are retold for general readers by Lewis Spence, who had already written on the myths of Mexico, Peru and Egypt. His preface says the aim is to keep the romance of the subject while explaining the nature and origin of the gods.

Chapters take in Babylonian creation myths, early religion, the Gilgamesh epic, the later pantheon, the god Merodach, the gods of Assyria, star-worship, priesthood and temples, magic, the monsters of Chaldea and tales of the kings. Eight colour plates are by Evelyn Paul.
