Adapa ***** Akkadian Story of Man's Lost Immortality

This Akkadian story, like the Epic of Gilgamesh, examines man's squandered opportunity for gaining immortality.

Tablets A C and D are from the library of Arshurbanipal,, while tablet B was found in the El-Armarna archives(14th century BCE).

@parandehdarya

Actually, Adapa is a Babylonian myth. The version here is written in Akkadian...the language of the Assyrians and the Babylonians.

Thanks for your interest.

1. Sargon, the mighty king, king of Akkadê am I,

2. My mother was lowly; my father I did not know;

3. The brother of my father dwelt in the mountain.

4. My city is Azupiranu, which is situated on the bank of the Purattu [Euphrates],

5. My lowly mother conceived me, in secret she brought me forth.

6. She placed me in a basket of reeds, she closed my entrance with bitumen,

7. She cast me upon the rivers which did not overflow me.
