Und Weinten Um Tammuz
Die Gotter Dumuzi-Ama'usumga'anna Und Damu

Samenvatting

Michael M. Fritz analyses identity and character of the Sumerian gods Dumuzi, Ama’ushumgal’anna, and Damu within god-lists, literary texts, royal inscriptions, economic texts, and personal names. The study opens with an overview of the history of research starting with Frazer’s "Adonis, Attis, Osiris" and Zimmerns "Tamuzlieder" and the implications these and other nowadays outdated studies still have on contemporary ideas. The gods’ role within mythology is outlined as well as their cult including chapters devoted to the "sacred marriage" and funerary rituals.
