Where to find Sumerian/Babylonian myths???

Post by Occultess »

Could anyone tell me where I could find Sumerian and/or Babylonian mythology? I have only found a small amount. It, for some reason, seems to be extremely difficult to locate. I haven't found much more than the book "Myths of Babylonia and Assyria" but that is mostly historical stuff about Babylonia and the surrounding areas and very little about the myths (although it was very informative and interesting).

I'm not going to be too paricular about what the form is. Real book, pdf, website...whatever. Thanks for any info!

There's is also a book called "The Harps That Once...," by a guy named Thorkild Jacobsen. Possibly the best translation of Sumerian Myth available.
I'll look in the library here at the house, and see if I have anything else for you... [geek2]
