This book comprises five poems dating from the height of the Babylonian civilisation in the second millennium BC. They include The New Babylonian Creation , which was recited at the new year festival in honour of the god Marduk and his conquest of Tiamat, Inanna's Journey to Hell , in which the goddess of fertility descends into a gloomy wasteland of devils and darkness, and Adapa: the Man , a story of man's fall from grace, not through disobedience but through blind obedience.
