Dilmun is an enigmatic and much-sought-after place in ancient Near Eastern mythology. The story of Dilmun is one of migration and the search for a place to call home. Set in a time before the world was divided into East and West, Dilmun is a place where the waters of the deep and the sky are one. Dilmun is also a place of great wisdom, where the gods reside. In Looking for Dilmun, Geoffrey Bibby tells the story of Dilmun from the perspective of its source, the Babylonian creation epic Enuma Elish. Bibby connects Dilmun and the other ancient Near Eastern myths with the biblical story of Eden, and he offers a unique and illuminating view of Dilmun as a place of creation, a place of refuge, and a place of wisdom.; 8vo; 383 pages.
