Abstract

The study of the ancient world has contributed to the development of peace studies, attempting to reconstruct a history of ideas of peace. Within these investigations into the past, however, the peoples of the ancient Near East have often been thought of as purely warlike and lacking a ‘concept’ of peace. For these reasons, this paper investigates why it is so difficult for modern scholars to recognize the presence of an idea of peace in Mesopotamia. In doing so, this research focuses on reconstructing the mode of narration and conceptualization of peace within Sumerian and Akkadian literary texts.
