Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the rich tapestry of Mesopotamian religion, this book delves into the Sumerians' groundbreaking contributions to writing, including god lists, spells, and medical prescriptions. Central to this exploration is the figure of Lamaštu, a formidable goddess exiled from Heaven, whose fearsome role involves culling the vulnerable to control the human population. Her dual nature—both terrifying and captivating—reflects the complexities of ancient beliefs and the cultural significance of deities in shaping societal norms and fears.
