Description

Explore the history of human sexuality through the lens of ancient civilizations. Sex and Eroticism in Mesopotamian Literature provides a deep look into how ancient societies viewed intimacy and desire. By examining Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform sources written between the 21st and 5th centuries B.C., this work offers a rare perspective on the oldest preserved written evidence regarding these topics. Author Gwendolyn Leick uses long-neglected data to examine a wide range of subjects, including prostitution, love magic, and deviant sexual behavior. The book also addresses broader questions concerning gender and sexuality in the ancient world. This text serves as a significant contribution to current academic debates, offering researchers and history enthusiasts a way to understand the attitudes and social structures of Mesopotamia through its most personal written records.
