Appu (Hurrian)
The ''Story of Appu'' is a mythological Hittite text (CTH 360). The text is fragmentary, and the sequence of events in the story is a reconstruction. The text is usually taken as an account of a Hurrian myth, but it does not itself contain any Hurrian names or other vocabulary to support this judgement. The geographical setting is in Mesopotamia. The reconstructed argument of the text is as follows: Appu is a rich man, but he is unhappy because he has no son. The text hints at the possibility that Appu doesn't know anything about sex. He sacrifices a lamb to ask the help of the gods. The sun-god appears and advises him to get drunk and then have sex with his wife. Eventually, Appu's wife gives birth to a first son, named () "bad, evil". At this point the text alludes to a rite of name-giving, paralleled in the ''Song of Ullikummi'', where the newborn is set on the knee of the father. Appu's wife later gives birth to a second son, named () "good, righteous". When both sons ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
