Abstract
Vladimir Sazonov, The Song of Sulgi: Some Remarks Concerning the Royal Ideology of the Neo-Sumerian King Sulgi (2093-2046 BC)
This paper concentrates on the complicated question of the deification of the Neo-Sumerian king Sulgi (2093-2046 BC), the second ruler of the III Dynasty of Ur (2112-2004 BC). The founder of this III Dynasty of Ur and Neo-Sumerian kingdom, with the capital in the important Sumerian political and religious centre Ur, was the Sumerian general Ur-Namma (2112-2094). During the rule of his son Sulgi, the Neo-Sumerian kingdom became a strong and powerful state, which had probably achieved the hegemony over whole Mesopotamia and over some important city-states in Elam (located in Southern-East Iran).
Nevertheless, Sulgi was not the first deified king in Mesopotamia. The first deified king attested in the archaeological sources (royal inscriptions, seal expressions and Stele of NarSm-Su’en) was NarAm-Su’en of Akkad (2254-2218 BC). Some years later, after death of NarQm-Su’ens (ca 2218), his son SarkalisarrI (2217-2193 BC) no longer claimed divinity for himself.
Sulgi restored the cult of the deified kings in Mesopotamia. This event took place evidently in the first half of the reign-period of the king Sulgi. There were composed many royal hymns in his honour, in which he was praised as a hero and deity in his own country. He was called „divine Sulgi” and „God of all young men” etc. in inscriptions and other texts. However, in this paper we do not concentrate on all aspects of the deification of Sulgi, but on some issues, like the royal titles and epithets concerning the deification of Sulgi, and on the composition of „Song of Sulgi”. We know that after Sulgi’s death (ca 2046 BC) the following rulers in Sumer had a divine status: Sulgi’s Son Amar-Su’en, then Su-Su’en, Ibbi-Su’en. Later also all kings of the I1* Dynasty of Isin since Isbi-Erra (2017-1985 BC) were deified.
