Produktbeschreibung

The book initially addresses the Sumerian heroic tales, which are scattered tales with multiple protagonists. It traces how the Babylonians combined these scattered tales into a single narrative structure, organized by a single plot and whose hero was also a single hero. Unifying the scattered tales and integrating them into a single structure, with a single plot and a single hero, and referring to a founding time, meant the creation of a new genre, which we now call the "epic." This was then completed by examining the genre characteristics, social function, and internal mechanisms for transmitting and performing the "epic" in its ancient cultural context, both as an oral text and as a written work. The book also focused on extracting the basic units in the construction of the epic. Because the epic simultaneously encompassed a symbolic structure, both alongside and separate from the narrative structure, the research addresses the symbolic structures the epic attempted to exploit. The book presents a "literary" study of an ancient text. This means investing in the entirety of the humanities, as long as they are fields located in border regions, so that they are recruited into a set of the most modern temporal approaches that have proven their ability to analyze texts and positively trace their sources. The epic text is also preserved as belonging to its past and distant past, when it was a pioneering work in which human consciousness explored its ability to solve the problems of its time. Therefore, the research will address this text by placing it within its temporal framework, but with a modern methodological set that responds to the latest methodological achievements devised by our era.
