ASOR’s youngest book
series was created to provide a forum for research that is not directly related
to the reporting of archaeological fieldwork. Works of general interest to ASOR
members as well as symposia and Festschrifts are included
in this series. The publication of new titles in this series is currently suspended (as of March 2006) but may resume in future years.

8. Walls, Neal. Desire, Discord and Death: Approaches to Ancient Near
Eastern Myth. ISBN O-89757-055-3-X; 056-1 p. x + 262 Boston, MA: ASOR,
2001. The three essays presented in this volume reveal the symbolic complexity
and poetic vision of ancient Near Eastern mythology. Through the application of
contemporary methods of literary analysis, the author explores the interrelated
themes of erotic desire, divine conflict, and death's realm in selected ancient
Mesopotamian and Egyptian mythological narratives. Topics include the construction
of desire in the Gilgamesh epic, a psychoanalytic approach to "The Contendings
of Horus and Seth," and gender and the exercise of power in the stormy romance
of Nergal and Ereshkigal. Walls' fresh treatment of these three important myths
brings them to life for the specialist and mythology buff alike. Available
