Esther's Revenge at Susa: From Sennacherib to Ahasuerus
Dalley, Stephanie (Senior Research Fellow in Assyriology at the Oriental Institute, University of Oxford)
The names of the chief characters in the biblical Book of Esther are those of Mesopotamian deities. Stephanie Dalley argues that the narrative reflects real events in seventh-century Assyria which were `explained' soon after they occurred in a mythologizing cuneiform text and linked to religious festivals comparable to the Jewish rites of Purim.
