The Epics of Aqhat and Kirta as Social Myths?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The presented article addresses the question of whether the epics of Kirta and Aqhat from LBA Ugarit may be considered narratives articulating social myths, building upon the theory of Gérard Bouchard. As such, the epics are seen as potentially influential elements within the society of Ugarit, significantly contributing to the construction of the reality of that time. The designation invites us to consider the complex social and historical setting in which the narratives appeared and worked and ask how they could have been relevant, what aims their author could have followed, and what means he used to achieve them. The preservation of sources considerably limits our possibilities in tracking the links among the narratives, author, audience, local and international politics, environment, religion, or emic conception of history. The reconstructed context, therefore, remains largely porous. Still, Ugarit is one of the best sites to start such an endeavour which may broaden our understanding of political uses of narratives in the ancient Near East.
