Gods & Demons of the Akkadian Empire

The deities and demons of Akkad — the first Semitic empire of Mesopotamia, forged by Sargon the Great. Heirs to Sumer and forebears of Babylon, the Akkadians gave the ancient Near East its sun-god Shamash, its great goddess Ishtar, and a teeming host of night-demons and serpent-monsters whose names echo through three thousand years of Mesopotamian magic.
