Synopsis

This book examines the inscriptions of Esarhaddon, an Assyrian king who ruled from 680-669 BCE. The author discusses the historical context of Esarhaddon's reign, including his military campaigns, building projects, and religious policies. The book also explores the literary aspects of the inscriptions, such as their use of language and imagery, and their significance in understanding the development of Assyrian royal ideology. By examining these inscriptions, the author provides insights into the political, cultural, and religious life of the Neo-Assyrian Empire during the reign of Esarhaddon.
