Used with permission. oi.uchicago.edu/OI/DEPT/PUB/SRC/CHD/S/CHDS.html PREFACE The Chicago Hittite Dictionary has undergone a transition at the dawn of the twenty-first century. It began with the sudden death of one of its two original co-editors, Hans Gustav Güterbock, on March 29, 2000. Up to the morning of his death he was able to work on dictionary manuscripts and had just completed commentary on the last of the åu-words. In the summer of that same year Güterbock’s co-editor, Harry A. Hoffner, Jr., retired from the faculty of the university, and in the autumn Theo van den Hout came to Chicago to succeed him. Despite all these changes the Chicago Hittite Dictionary stayed on track and now presents the first fascicle of our next volume covering all words beginning with the letter Å. As with previous fascicles, all Å words have been written but the painstaking process of final editing, reference checking, and proofreading leads us again to publish this largest letter so far in at least three fascicles over the next few years. Meanwhile, in close cooperation with Gene Gragg, the Oriental Institute’s director, and others, the editors of the Chicago Hittite Dictionary have taken the first steps towards an electronic version of the dictionary. Our goal is a dictionary fully tagged through the Ex(tensible) M(arkup) L(anguage) or XML, platform independent, and accessible on the World Wide Web. In the course of this year we expect to be able to put words beginning with the letter P on the Web. The List of Abbreviations of the P volume will continue in force until a fully updated new list is published accompanying the final fascicle of the Å volume. Additional abbreviations can be found on the following pages of the present fascicle. We express our thanks to previous and current curators and directors of the archaeological museums whose Hittite tablets we have been allowed to collate and photograph: ∫lhan Temizsoy (Ankara), Veysel Donbaz and Fatma Yıldız (∫stanbul), Beate Salje (Berlin), Christopher Walker (London), Béatrice André- Salvini (Paris), Benjamin R. Foster (Yale University, New Haven), Erle Leichty and Åke Sjøberg (Philadelphia), James Armstrong (Harvard), and J. A. Brinkman (Chicago). We are grateful to Gernot Wilhelm and Silvin Koåak for collations and other valuable information from the Bo©azköy Archiv in Mainz, Germany. We also thank Cem Karasu for making collations in Ankara. To the University of Chicago and its current president Don Michael Randel, as well as to the Oriental Institute and its present director Gene Gragg, who provided partial financial support and a wide variety of services and resources which furthered our work, we express our gratitude. Invaluable advice came from our outside consultants Gary Beckman, Craig Melchert, and Gernot Wilhelm. We are also grateful to our colleagues on the Chicago Assyrian Dictionary for their help and advice. Also, volunteer Irv Diamond helped us in many ways. Research Associates during the period that volume Å was in preparation were (in alphabetical order) Richard Beal, Billie Jean Collins, Hripsime Haroutunian, Silvia Luraghi, O©uz Soysal, and Ahmet Ünal. Graduate students assisting during this period were Joe Baruffi, Scott Branting, Dennis Campbell, Simrit Dhesi, Kathleen Mineck, and Steve Thurston. We also thank Thomas Holland and Thomas Urban of the Publications Office of the Oriental Institute for their excellent work and pleasant cooperation. We are especially grateful to the National Endowment for the Humanities and its current director Mr. William R. Ferris for generous and sustained financial support.

However, a careful examination of the SKL’s most complete version in the Weld-Blundell Prism (Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, inv. no.WB. 1923.444) not only allows us to reconstruct the text itself by completing lost parts by some other recently published versions of the SKL. Also we get some further insight into the metrological system used by the authors of the SKL.

  • The Sumerian King List the Sumerian King List (SKL) Dates from Around 2100 BCE—Near the Time When Abram Was in Ur
    BcResources Genesis The Sumerian King List The Sumerian King List (SKL) dates from around 2100 BCE—near the time when Abram was in Ur. Most ANE scholars (following Jacobsen) attribute the original form of the SKL to Utu-hejel, king of Uruk, and his desire to legiti- mize his reign after his defeat of the Gutians. Later versions included a reference or Long Chronology), 1646 (Middle to the Great Flood and prefaced the Chronology), or 1582 (Low or Short list of postdiluvian kings with a rela- Chronology).

  • General Introduction Hesiod and His Poems
    General Introduction Hesiod and His Poems The Theogony is one of the most important mythical texts to survive from antiquity, and I devote the first section of this translation to it. It tells of the creation of the present world order under the rule of almighty Zeus. The Works and Days, in the second section, describes a bitter dispute between Hesiod and his brother over the disposition of their father’s property, a theme that allows Hesiod to range widely over issues of right and wrong. The Shield of Herakles, whose centerpiece is a long description of a work of art, is not by Hesiod, at least most of it, but it was always attributed to him in antiquity. It is Hesiodic in style and has always formed part of the Hesiodic corpus. It makes up the third section of this book. The influence of Homer’s poems on Greek and later culture is inestima- ble, but Homer never tells us who he is; he stands behind his poems, invisi- ble, all-knowing. His probable contemporary Hesiod, by contrast, is the first self-conscious author in Western literature. Hesiod tells us something about himself in his poetry. His name seems to mean “he who takes pleasure in a journey” (for what it is worth) but in the Works and Days he may play with the meaning of “he who sends forth song.” As with all names—for example, Homer, meaning “hostage,” or Herodotus, meaning “a warrior’s gift”—the name of a poet may have nothing to do with his actual career.

  • Tayinat's Building XVI: the Religious Dimensions and Significance of A
    Tayinat’s Building XVI: The Religious Dimensions and Significance of a Tripartite Temple at Neo-Assyrian Kunulua by Douglas Neal Petrovich A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto © Copyright by Douglas Neal Petrovich, 2016 Building XVI at Tell Tayinat: The Religious Dimensions and Significance of a Tripartite Temple at Neo-Assyrian Kunulua Douglas N. Petrovich Doctor of Philosophy Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto 2016 Abstract After the collapse of the Hittite Empire and most of the power structures in the Levant at the end of the Late Bronze Age, new kingdoms and powerful city-states arose to fill the vacuum over the course of the Iron Age. One new player that surfaced on the regional scene was the Kingdom of Palistin, which was centered at Kunulua, the ancient capital that has been identified positively with the site of Tell Tayinat in the Amuq Valley. The archaeological and epigraphical evidence that has surfaced in recent years has revealed that Palistin was a formidable kingdom, with numerous cities and territories having been enveloped within its orb. Kunulua and its kingdom eventually fell prey to the Neo-Assyrian Empire, which decimated the capital in 738 BC under Tiglath-pileser III. After Kunulua was rebuilt under Neo- Assyrian control, the city served as a provincial capital under Neo-Assyrian administration. Excavations of the 1930s uncovered a palatial district atop the tell, including a temple (Building II) that was adjacent to the main bit hilani palace of the king (Building I).

  • Feasting in Homeric Epic 303
    HESPERIA 73 (2004) FEASTING IN Pages 301-337 HOMERIC EPIC ABSTRACT Feasting plays a centralrole in the Homeric epics.The elements of Homeric feasting-values, practices, vocabulary,and equipment-offer interesting comparisonsto the archaeologicalrecord. These comparisonsallow us to de- tect the possible contribution of different chronologicalperiods to what ap- pearsto be a cumulative,composite picture of around700 B.c.Homeric drink- ing practicesare of particularinterest in relation to the history of drinkingin the Aegean. By analyzing social and ideological attitudes to drinking in the epics in light of the archaeologicalrecord, we gain insight into both the pre- history of the epics and the prehistoryof drinkingitself. THE HOMERIC FEAST There is an impressive amount of what may generally be understood as feasting in the Homeric epics.' Feasting appears as arguably the single most frequent activity in the Odysseyand, apart from fighting, also in the Iliad. It is clearly not only an activity of Homeric heroes, but also one that helps demonstrate that they are indeed heroes. Thus, it seems, they are shown doing it at every opportunity,to the extent that much sense of real- ism is sometimes lost-just as a small child will invariablypicture a king wearing a crown, no matter how unsuitable the circumstances. In Iliad 9, for instance, Odysseus participates in two full-scale feasts in quick suc- cession in the course of a single night: first in Agamemnon's shelter (II. 1. thanks to John Bennet, My 9.89-92), and almost immediately afterward in the shelter of Achilles Peter Haarer,and Andrew Sherrattfor Later in the same on their return from their coming to my rescueon variouspoints (9.199-222).

Despite the paucity of literary evidence, the majority of scholars have identified Dagan with either El or Baal, consequently attributing a single “real” father to Baal.

  • Nudity and Music in Anatolian Mythological Seduction Scenes and Iconographic Imagery
    Ora Brison Nudity and Music in Anatolian Mythological Seduction Scenes and Iconographic Imagery This essay focuses on the role of Anatolian music in erotic and sexual contexts — especially of its function in mythological seduction scenes. In these scenes, music is employed as a means of enhancing erotic seduction. A number of cultic, sexual iconographic representations associated with musical instruments and performers of music will also be discussed. Historical Background Most of the data on the music culture of the Anatolian civilizations comes from the Old Hittite and Hittite Imperial periods, dating from 1750 to 1200 bce, though some data comes from the Neo-Hittite period, namely 1200 to 800 bce.1 The textual sources relate mainly to religious state festivals, ceremonies and rituals. It is likely that Hittite music culture reflected the musical traditions of the native Anatolian cultures — the Hattians2 — as well as the influences of other migrating ethnic groups, such as the Hurrians3 or the Luwians,4 who settled in Anatolia. Hittite music culture also shows the musical influence of and fusion with the neighboring major civilizations: Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Aegean (Schuol 2004: 260). Our knowledge of Anatolian music, musical instruments, musicians, singers and performers is based on extensive archaeological evidence, textual and visual, as well as on recovered pieces of musical artifacts. Much of the data has been collected from the corpus of religious texts and cultic iconographic representations. Nevertheless, we can assume that music, song and dance played a significant role not only in reli- gious practices, but also in many aspects of daily life (de Martino 1995: 2661).

  • Hurrian Language
    Ilse Wegner Introduction to the Hurrian Language Forward: Among the numerous languages of ancient near east, Hurrian is an important one, but in contrast to Akkadian or Hittite there are few investigations of this language, and summary works documenting present knowledge are non-existent. The present “Introduction” shall then be interested in providing access to the grammar as reflected in present research. Many grammatical phenomena that are introduced here may however in the future be modified or even completely reevaluated by others, especially since the study of the Hurrian language is strongly contested. A scientific grammar in the strict sense is not included in this introduction. The previous aids to the learning of Hurrian are however all out-of-date (?) and derive from three grammars and one glossary as well as from numerous scattered published articles. Works that introduce grammar to the student by means of largely coherent text fragments do not exist. These details shall here be taken into account. As reading pieces artificially formed sample sentences are not used. The sample texts originate primarily from the Mittani letters and a few examples of the Bo!azköy texts. Following after a strictly grammatical portion comes a series of transcriptions, with a translation and a commentary provided as lessons. Lessons 1-10 are text passages from the Mittani letters, Lesions 11-13 originate from the Hurrian-Hittite bilinguals of Bo!azköy, and lesson 14 treats the Ti"atal-Inscription. The text passages that are taken from the Mittani letters are not arranged by content criteria, but instead suitable text fragments are chosen so that the grammatical material progresses from introductory to difficult.
