John Thames explores the intersection of ritual and politics in ancient Syria. The cuneiform texts describing an elaborate festival called 'zukru' invite the reader to consider the development of the ritual as a result of political influence. This book suggests a new understanding of the relationship between the Hittite Empire and the city of Emar that is best observed through religious texts.
