Résumé Hr En

Rad analizira biblijsku priču o stvaranju svijeta i čovjeka iz Knjige Postanka te ju komparira s pričom o stvaranju opisanom u mezopotamskim epovima Enuma Eliš i Ep o Gilgamešu. Ti se tekstovi usporeĎuju na sadrţajnoj razini kao mitološke priče, ali i kao knjiţevna djela s različitim obiljeţjima. Ukratko su izneseni podaci o povijesnoj pozadini nastanka spomenutih epova i biblijske priče te su zatim podrobnije predočeni sadrţaji djela i priča o postanku koja je u njima iznesena. Analizom tih tekstova utvrĎene su sličnosti u nekoliko aspekata. Posebna je pozornost obraćena na teme poput cikličnosti, ideje stvaranja svijeta iz kaosa i ostale zajedničke motive vezane uz stvaranje. UsporeĎen je način na koji se u Knjizi Postanka i mezopotamskim epovima doţivljavaju i opisuju boţanstva te na koje se načine stvaraju svijet i prvi ljudi. Konačno, usporeĎena je forma tekstova te pripovjedne strukture koje se javljaju u opisu stvaranja svijeta.

BIBLE AND THE MESOPOTAMIAN EPICS – GENESIS The paper analyzes Bible story about the creation of the world and mankind described in the Book of Genesis and compares it to the story that was presented in the Mesopotamian epics Enûma Eliš and Epic of Gilgamesh. These literary texts are compared as mythological stories, but also as literary works with different characteristics. The basic information about the historical background of each of these ancient texts is briefly introduced, followed by detailed account of stories about creation presented in them. Certain similarities were identified and these common themes were thoroughly explored. Special emphasis was placed on some of the recurrent motives and ideas like cyclical nature of the creation process or the idea of creating the world out of chaos. The ways in which the Jewish people and the people of ancient Mesopotamia viewed and described their deities was delved into, as well as their ideas about the techniques gods used while creating the world and humankind. Finally, the writing styles of the texts and the narrative structures used were explored in great detail.
