Résumé
Beneath the heroic poems of Sumerian mythology lie the lives of real people. Enmerkar's voice was without emotion. "I will build you the greatest city ever built. You will look upon it and forget every man who has ever touched you."Inanna's unresolved frustration exploded. "You embarrassed me in front of Lilith! You humiliated me in front of the world! You are less worthy than scum on a pond ! You will never enter my mind again! I will forget you ever existed!!"As he watched her leave, he said to no one but earth, wind, and himself, "You will love only me."Uruk was the world's first Metropolis and home to civilization's first bureaucracy.
Its people formalized writing and created the first literary masterpieces. Its ziggurats inspired the biblical "Tower of Babel." Historical records show that Uruk was built by Enmerkar, its first king. Archeological remains reveal the E-anna district, a massive religious and administrative complex ... and at its center, the remains of the once towering Temple of Inanna, the home of civilizations original "Goddess of Sex and War." The seven part series, "Pumi in Sumeria, " imagines the prehistory of Sumeria as deconstructed from their myths and traditions.
The series attempts to make real the lives of the everyday people whose exploits, told and retold, turned them into gods and myth. The seventh and final story, "The Founding of Uruk, " imagines the forces that led to the building of the greatest of all Sumerian cities. As with the first six stories in the series, the narrative is fanciful and not entirely plausible. But in the author's mind, closer to truth than myth.
