Abstract

The paper aims to investigate ancient Mesopotamian concept of the mythical Flood which describes the annihilation of the human kind. In this paper I present, at first various Mesopotamian cuneiform sources containing narratives of the Flood then I discuss further sources describing the personification of the Flood as a destructive divine force associated with the divine sphere.
