Hittite prayers were at first heavily influenced by Babylonian and Hurrian prototypes, but soon developed their own creative style, highly emotional and rich in metaphors. The twenty-four prayers assembled in the volume cover the entire span of Hittite literary history.
The introduction and explanations were useful, without being too long. Such a great little book for researching more on the Hittites and their culture and religious beliefs. So happy I found this book and so happy to own it. I've underlined and made notations and will continue to read books in the Writings from the Ancient World series.
