A collection of three major poetic, mythological epics of the Canaanite kingdom of Ugarit in high quality transliteration and translation: Kirta, Aqhat, and the Baal Cycle. Translator’s notes are abundant, providing insight and commentary on linguistic, historic, literary, cultural, and even biblically related issues. A plethora of shorter, lesser known texts that highlight religious, cultural, and mythological aspects of ancient Ugarit are also included—many of which are very hard to show more find in English translation. The book presents not only a fun, quick read for those with passing interests, but a valuable, compact resource for professionals working with the original language. show less

This is an initial reading of the translations; I did not read every word of the apparatus. The importance of this word from the other side of our argument between Yahweh and Baal cannot be overestimated.
