Songs 1 - Ancient Akkadian Love Songs

<p>Valentine's Day Special. This is a bunch of love poetry from the Mesopotamian bronze age, as well as some magical love spells. Translation by Benjamin R Foster in his book "Before the Muses". Some of the original text is damaged, and I have gone in and filled the missing bits with what seems appropriate to make it flow better in audio format. This is mostly reading with very little commentary.</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/oldeststories/message
