Abstract

AbstractThe seven tablets of Enūma elis, “The Chaldean Genesis,” contain multiple creations artfully woven in a story that has the god Marduk as the hero. Most creation accounts found in Enūma elis are reminiscent of earlier traditions. Former narratives as well as related themes and motives are adopted and adapted by means of intentional alterations to suit the purpose of the new text. In this paper I study the ways in which various creations are included, tailored, and arranged to promote Marduk’s position as the head of the Babylonian pantheon.

创造在Enūma中的作用

【摘要】《迦勒底创世纪》中Enūma elis的七块石板包含了以马杜克神为英雄的故事中巧妙编织的多个造物。在Enūma elis中发现的大多数创世记录都让人想起了早期的传统。以前的叙述以及相关的主题和动机被采用和改编，通过有意的改变来适应新文本的目的。在本文中，我研究了各种创作被包括在内的方式，量身定制，并安排促进马杜克作为巴比伦万神殿首领的地位。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Ancient Near Eastern Religions (JANER) focuses on the religions of the area commonly referred to as the Ancient Near East encompassing Egypt, Mesopotamia, Syria-Palestine, and Anatolia, as well as immediately adjacent areas under their cultural influence, from prehistoric times onward to the beginning of the common era. JANER thus explicitly aims to include not only the Biblical, Hellenistic and Roman world as part of Ancient Near Eastern civilization but also the impact of its religions on the western Mediterranean. JANER is the only scholarly journal specifically and exclusively addressing this range of topics.
