Konstantopoulos, Gina, author. The Divine/Demonic Seven and the Place of Demons in Mesopotamia / Gina Konstantopoulos. First edition. Leiden, The Netherlands : Brill, [2023] ©2023 1 online resource (340 pages) : illustrations. text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource rdacarrier Ancient Magic and Divination Series ; Volume 20 In The Divine/Demonic Seven and the Place of Demons in Mesopotamia , Gina Konstantopoulos analyses the Sebettu, a group of seven divine/demonic figures found across a wide range of Mesopotamian textual and artistic sources in Mesopotamia from the late third to first millennium BCE. The Sebettu appeared both as fierce, threatening demons and as divine, protective, figures. These seemingly contradictory qualities worked together, as their martial ferocity facilitated their religious and political role. When used in royal inscriptions, they became fierce warriors attacking the king’s enemies, retaining that demonic nature. This flexibility was not unique to the Sebettu, and this study thus provides a lens through which to examine the place of demons in Mesopotamia as a whole. Description based on print version record. English Includes bibliographical references and index. The Variable Nature of Demons -- Early Foundations of Literary Evidence and Cultic Use -- The Escalated Use of the Sebettu in the First Millennium -- The Sebettu in Incantations and Household Use -- Iconography and the Pleiades.
