Abstract
Some Remarks Concerning The Legends About Punishing Damned Akkadian King
The importance of Akkadian kings for the whole mankind in political history, and especially in establishing and evolution of royal ideology and state administration, is very significant. The imperial system, which was founded by Akkadian kings, was followed by many Ancient Near Eastern monarchies and states like Neo-Sumerian kingdom, Babylonia, Assyria, Persia, Hittite empire etc.
Sargon I (24,h century BCE), the legendary founder of the Akkadian Empire, and also his grandson Naram-Su’en (23rd century BCE) became very popular and famous people in the ancient Near Eastern literature, first of all in the Sumerian and Akkadian legends and chronicles, which were later translated into other ancient oriental languages like Hittite or Hurrian. The famous legend „The King of Battle“ (sar tamhari), which was written in the Akkadian language, tells us about the military campaign of Sargon I in Anatolia against the state of Purushanda.
If Sargon I was mostly represented and described in literary works as „a positive king“, as the „chosen one of Goddess Istar“ and „a favourite of Enlil and other great gods of Sumer and Akkad, as legitimate shepherd and viceregent of gods on the Earth” (with one exception in „Chronicle of Weidner“, where Sargon was represented as a negative personality), then his grandson - also a great conqueror king Naram-Su’en was in almost all cases described and showed as a very negative person, a wrongful and unrighteous king, who had overcome restrictions of god, being very insolent and having destroyed and befouled the main sanctuary of the main god Enlil. For that reason he and his city Agade and also the Akkadian king were punished and damned to eternity. Literary works such as „The Curse of Agade“, „The Tenth Battle“ etc. can be observed as didactical lessons, which purpose lies in showing for the future rulers what may happen to a king if he is very insolent and conflicted with priesthood and gods.
