Abstract:

During the Late Bronze Age, Syria was mostly dominated by the larger powers of the ancient Near East—Mitanni (the Hurrians), the Hittite Empire, and Egypt. The ancient city of Ugarit yielded numerous texts and artifacts that attest to the presence of foreigners and their influences on local religious traditions. Textually, the best-preserved influences are those of Hurrian origin, although these were probably promoted thanks to the Hittites, who incorporated many Hurrian deities and cults. Hurrian traditions thus influenced both Ugaritic cults and divine pantheons. Egyptian influences, in cont

Abstract:

Abstract This article gathers a number of Hurrian words that can be found in Nuzi texts and that were not identified as such by previous research. Various attempts to understand these words within the framework of the Akkadian language have resulted in different, often diverging, suggestions for translation. Albeit still imperfect, the knowledge of the Hurrian language has increased significantly over the last few decades, thus allowing us to identify these words as belonging to Hurrian. Although in some cases their meanings remain unclear, the words gathered here slightly enhance the knowledg

Abstract:

Abstract An edition of the earliest ritual from Kizzuwatna to be imported into Hittite Anatolia. As such, it is the forerunner of the wave of Hurrian influence that would reshape the Hittite state cult during the empire period (14th–13th c. B.C.E.). Although the southern ruler to whom it is attributed undoubtedly carried out his worship in Hurrian, the present version is written in Hittite, but the text includes numerous Hurrian technical terms. It remains unclear why a rite centering on the Storm-god Teššup of the Kizzuwatnaean capital was still relevant in Hattusa two centuries after its com

Abstract:

Abstract It is proposed that the story of the Hurrian deity ‘Silver’, as portrayed in the Late Bronze Age Song of Silver, is a plausible precursor to the classical myth of Phaethon. Shared motifs include the teasing of the young hero, the revelation by his mother of his father’s divine identity, a temporary assumption of power in heaven, a clash with the god of thunder, a disastrous episode involving the Sun and the Moon, and an etymology meaning ‘radiance’. As the Phaethon myth also seems to contain Semitic elements, it is argued that the source of the classical story was the region of northe

Abstract:

Abstract The philological and linguistic research into the Hurrian language began in 1889 after the discovery of the Amarna tablets, among which was a very large tablet, the so-called “Mittani tablet,” a letter of almost 500 lines in the Hurrian language, sent by king Tušratta of Mittani to pharao Amenophis III. In a short time, the meaning of some nouns and verbs could be revealed with the help of letters from the same rulers written in Akkadian. This first phase of decoding the Hurrian language ended with the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. The second phase began in 1932 with a publ

Abstract:

AbstractThe linguistic status of Peripheral Akkadian is a complex question. The texts from Qaṭna help to elucidate it. The texts, which underlie these documents, were uttered in Hurrian, while Sumerian, Akkadian and Hurrian constituted complementary writing platforms to record it. Seen in this light, the question of defining the language of these texts is malapropos. Instead, it is necessary to differentiate the status of individual languages. Such an inquiry is historically feasible by adopting second language acquisition as a theoretical framework.

Abstract:

In Old Armenian, saws means ‘proud, luxurious, great,’ ‘some (bright) color,’ and saws and sawsi mean ‘oriental plane tree’. The word has no etymology.

This culture served as an ancestral foundation for the Proto-Kolkh, Trialet, Karmirberd, Kizylvank, and Uzerlin-Sevan cultures. In the North Caucasus, the Maikop and Dolmen cultures were prominent during the Bronze Age. These cultures provided a basis fro

Abstract This article discusses two fragments written down during Hittite Empire times that have been attributed to the Hurrian-Hittite bilingual Song of Release (CTH 789) found at the Hittite capital Ḫattuša. The authors argue that ABoT 2.247 is a cadaster text, and that the classification of KBo. 57.180 as part of the Song of Release remains doubtful. Therefore, the transmission of the Hurrian Song of Release is limited to the era preceding the Hittite Empire, with all of its manuscripts exhibiting the Middle Script. It thus presents a rare example of Hittite text ensembles without any New S

Abstract:

The toponym Tabal was used by the Iron Age Assyrians to refer to a group of Luwian kingdoms and principalities that occupied Cappadocia during the first centuries of the Iron Age. The name itself was not used by the Luwians and it is debated whether or not it was continued in later traditions, such as the Biblical one. It thus seems to be a specific exonym reflecting an Assyrian (and possibly Canaanite) point of view. Nevertheless, an Assyrian etymology has been recently criticized, and few alternative analyses, including a Luwian and a Hurrian one, have been suggested. Admittedly, however, al

Short and long a an i are normally reflected in Armenian by a and i. But it can be observed that the Armenian u normally reflects short ŭ while Armenian o normally reflects long ū, thus pointing at some kind of allophonic variants in Hurro-Urartian phonology between short and long u.

Abstract In Hurrian, genitive modifiers are morpho-syntactically treated as simply other attributes and are therefore subjected to agreement by copying the case marker of their head nouns (Suffixaufnahme). It is generally observed that, in the language of the Mittani Letter, when two hierarchically different genitive attributes are related to the same head noun a restriction of the Suffixaufnahme occurs, whereby the higher-ranking genitive, i.e., the one immediately dependent on the head noun, fails to copy the case of the head noun, and the lower-ranking genitive then copies only the case mar

Abstract This essay explores the river battle of Iliad 21 in terms of the Near Eastern mythological motif known as the Chaoskampf, wherein an order-promoting storm deity prevails over a water deity associated with chaos. The first section outlines four notable features of the protean Chaoskampf traditions in ancient Near Eastern literature, from Mesopotamia to the Levant to Anatolia. The second section traces these four features into the Iliad’s river battle and explains their presence by proposing cross-traditional mythopoesis, confluent with other cultural exchanges as established in recent

Abstract:

An impression of an Old Assyrian seal from Kültepe from collection of Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow carries an image that was not recognized but by present authors and is of great interest as it depicts a scene of a hero’s battle with a serpent-like demonic character (most likely, this is a double or two-headed monster). Rarity of serpent-fighting scenes in the Ancient Near Eastern art makes it important to study the composition and plot of the impression in its traceable iconographical and mythological contexts, in order to establish its cultural connotations (Anatolian, Syrian,

Abstract:

AbstractThat the Late Bronze Age cultural koine included a musical dimension is suggested by the Mesopotamian and Hurrian/Ugaritic musical tablets. This paper presents a selective survey and analysis of evidence for a parallel phenomenon, the deification of lyres/harps, which seemingly originated in late third millennium Mesopotamia and spread abroad in the second. Deified lyres are considered as both a ritual reality and an inducement to poetic elaboration by the same poetpriests who used them; much of the textual evidence thus represents remnants of a professional repertoire.
