Sargon II, King of Assyria
Josette ElayiA critical resource that traces the reign of Sargon in context
Josette Elayi's book is the only existing biography of Sargon II, the famous Assyrian king, who was a megalomaniac and a warlord. Elayi addresses such important questions, including what was his precise role in the disappearance of the kingdom of Israel; how did Sargon II succeed in enlarging the borders of the Assyrian Empire by several successful campaigns; how did he organize his empire (administration, trade, agriculture, libraries), and what was the so-called sin of Sargon?
Features:
- Interpretations of decisive events during the life and reign of the Assyrian king
- An evaluation of Sargon II s reign
- Maps, tables, and illustrations
