    Sex and Eroticism in Mesopotamian Literature

    Gwendolyn Leick

    "Sex and Eroticism in Mesopotamian Literature" is a substantial contribution to current debates


    about sex and eroticism. It gives an insight into Mesopotamian attitudes to sexuality by
    examining the oldest preserved written evidence on the subject--the Sumero-Akkadian
    cuneiform sources--which were written between the 21st and the 5th centuries BC. Using this
    long-neglected and often astonishing data, Gwendolyn Leick is able to analyze Mesopotamian
    views of prostitution, love, magic and deviant sexual behavior, as well as the more general
    issues of sexuality and gender.

    This fascinating book explores the sexual culture of one of the earliest literate civilizations.
