All the King's Adamindugas: Textual Images of Ur III Sovereigns As Managers of the Universe

Original language description

This paper will tackle the question why some of the known Sumerian debate poems mention Ur III kings and why at least one of those kings was supposed to have decided the dispute of the protagonists. It will argue that by awarding the Ur III kings an important role in the quarrels of the basic representatives of the agricultural cycle, raw materials, animals and plants some of the disputations contributed to the formulation and performance of Ur III royal ideology. To that end, the paper will explore mainly the intertextual relations of the debates with poems in praise of Ur III kings. The key source underpinning the argument will be the unedited debate between Tree and Reed which depicts Šulgi as a divine king judging the values and qualities of plants and the decision maker whose decrees were essential for the organization and management of the Sumero-Akkadian universe.
