Tradition and Innovation in Šulgi's Concept of Divine Kingship

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper contributes to the ongoing research into Mesopotamian divine kingship by attempting to reconstruct the paradigm of divine kingship of Šulgi, king of Ur. It shows that the scattered and seemingly contradictory hymnal statements about Šulgi, thedescendant of Urukean deities Ninsun and Lugalbanda, brother of Gilgameš and ?eštinana etc., seem to have been points of a coherent theology of Šulgi, the god-king, not contradicting but supporting each other in a complex paradigm formulated by royal scholars in the hymnal corpus to justify and promote the ideological agenda of their master. This paradigm, a blend of traditional and innovative elements of royal self-representation, shows the way in which Šulgi was deified: he was inserted in the divinesphere as a deity uniting gods of different character and from different cities by means of kinship, thereby becoming a key member of an extended divine family which no longer knew local limitations but became the "national" pantheon of a
