INTRODUCTION TO THE MYTH AND ACCOUNT OF CREATION II. THE ANTEDILUVIAN CITIES III. THE COUNCIL OF THE GODS AND ZIUSUDU S PIETY IV. THE DREAM-WARNING V. THE FLOOD THE ESCAPE OF THE GREAT BOAT AND THE SACRIFICE VI. THE PROPITIATION OF THE ANGRY GODS AND ZIUSUDU S IMMORTALITY LECTURE III CREATION AND THE DRAGON MYTH PREFACE In these lectures an attempt is made not so much to restate familiar facts as to accommodate them to new and supplementary evidence which has been published in America since the outbreak of the war. But even without the excuse of recent discovery no apology would be needed for any comparison or contrast of Hebrew tradition with the mythological and legendary beliefs of Babylon and Egypt. Hebrew achievements in the sphere of religion and ethics are only thrown into stronger relief when studied against their contemporary background. The bulk of our new material is furnished by some early texts written towards the close of the third millennium . They incorporate traditions which extend in unbroken outline from their own period into the remote ages of the past and claim to trace the history of man back to his creation. They represent the early national traditions of the Sumerian people .
