Sargon of Akkad: Lord of Lies, King of Battle, Prophet of Empire
Update: 2023-09-06
Description
What kind of man does it take to build an empire? And not just any empire, but the very first in the history of man? What would it take to bring it into being when only kingdoms and cities had come before? For an answer, we can look at the story of Sargon of Akkad: Lover to Ishtar, Father to Enheduanna, Lord of Lies, King of Battle, Prophet of Empire.
In The Birth Legend of Sargon of Akkad, we are told that, as a mere infant, he was sent down the Euphrates in a basket of rushes sealed with bitumen, an origin story not unlike that of Moses. Raised as a simple gardener, Sargon of Akkad nonetheless goes down in history as the world's first emperor... So how did he do it?
