“Now See How the Mighty Storm-God My Lord is Running Before Me": Revelation of Divine Power in Hittite Historiography

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

"The nature of divine speech in Antiquity in the Mediterranean Basin has often been the object of scholarly analysis, especially regarding its divinatory context and questions of genre and rhetoric. The present volume not only provokes a dialogue with this past research, but seeks to respond to a problem that has received little consideration until now: the articulation of divine speech with the various forms of its representation (linguistic, literary, and material). The aim is to analyze the nature of divine speech through its materiality and the impact of the latter on the former's definition and evolution." --back cover
