The Serpent-Fighting Imagery of Anatolia in the 2nd Millennium BC and Malatya Serpentine Monster in the Light of Newly Published Old Assyrian Seal Impression from Kültepe
The present work deals with serpent-fighting motifs from Anatolia of the second millennium BC reconsidered in the light of recently discovered composition with a serpent-fighting scene on an Old Assyrian seal impression from Kültepe kept at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow (I 2 б 1591). Besides this sealing, the famous representation at the Malatya Relief H (the orthostat AMM 12250) and myths of Illuyanka and Hedammu are compared t…
On the Typology of the Serpent-like Monsters Fighting Against the Hero in the Near Eastern Iconography of the 3rd — First Half 1st Millennia BC
The paper gives the typology of the serpent-like monster images in the art of Western Asia of 3rd — first half 1st millennia BC. We’ve studied 14 such images, beginning with the Early Dynastic seals and ending with the Neo-Babylonian amulet, by comparison of 10 parameters, and established four main types of similar monsters: 7-headed, 2-headed with 2 paws, 1-headed with 2 paws and 1-headed legless one. 7- and 1-headed monsters are typical for Mes…
Old Hittite Opposition in the Religious Aspect
The paper proposes a new approach to the conflict between Hattušili I and Tawananna using the new interpretation of some historiolae of Zuwi’s ritual. A political interpretation of these historiolae explains their content better than a magical one. Tracing the parallels between the animal figures in Zuwi’s ritual and in the political rhetoric of Hattušili I allows us to reconstruct an alliance between the royal relatives as well as the priesthood…
Mythological Time of the Hittites
Scholars usually consider the Hittite mythological and epic texts to reflect the narrative traditions of Anatolia, Mesopotamia and Syria, the same as could be said for many other elements of the Hittite culture. Despite the epic texts found in the Hittite archives are often labeled to be foreign or translated literature, the Hittite scribes worked a lot to adapt them to their own worldview. The paper will discuss the temporal aspect of these text…
Scene of Triumph Over the Stretched Enemy Next to an Anatolian Sacred Tree on One Old Assyrian Sealing from Kültepe (the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, I 2 b 1598)
The paper presents a study of a seal impression from Kültepe (Kanish, Old Assyrian period) from the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts (Moscow, inv. No. I 2 b 1598). The authors were first to prepare the drawing of the damaged image, using modern methods of computer processing and modifying digital photographic material, to recognize in detail its plot and to trace its place within the context of concepts and iconography of the Ancient Near East. …
The iconographical and mythological contexts of serpent(s)-fighting scene on the Old Assyrian seal impression from Kültepe (the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts I 2 b 1591)
An impression of an Old Assyrian seal from Kültepe from collection of Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow carries an image that was not recognized but by present authors and is of great interest as it depicts a scene of a hero’s battle with a serpent-like demonic character (most likely, this is a double or two-headed monster). Rarity of serpent-fighting scenes in the Ancient Near Eastern art makes it important to study the composition and…
The Malatya serpent in the light of newly published sealing from the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts
The paper provides analysis of dragon-slaying motifs from Anatolia in the 2nd millennium BC represented at the Malatya Relief H, sealing from the Pushkin Museum I 2 б 1591 and in Hittite myths of Illuyanka and Hedammu. The scholars often regarded Malatya Relief H as depicting the plot of Illuyanka myth, but the discovery of dragon-slaying scene on the sealing from the Pushkin Museum gives grounds for re-analyzing them, including the depictions of…
The Mycenaean and Homeric Greek ideas of the Scepter in the Light of the Ancient Near Eastern Parallels
The symbols of royal power look being similar to each other in the different cultures of the Ancient World, but this resemblance may cover the regional specifics. The most common ideas identify the Early Greek scepter and the Hittite kalmus with the variants of mace and of shepherd’s crook, but their arguments are not comprehensive. Analyzing the textual attestations of the Ancient Greek scepter and of the Hittite kalmus to understand their funct…
