To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In character and attributes the classical god whom Nin most closelyresembles is, however, not Saturn, but Hercules. An indication of thisconnection is perhaps contained in the Herodotean genealogy, which makesHercules an ancestor of Ninus. Many classical traditions, we mustremember, identified Hercules with Saturn; and it seems certain that inthe East at any rate this identification was common. So Nin, in theinscriptions, is the god of strength and courage. He is "the lord of thebrave, " "the c...hampion, " "the warrior who subdues foes, " "he whostrengthens the heart of his followers;" and again, "the destroyer ofenemies, " "the reducer of the disobedient, " "the exterminator of rebels, ""he whose sword is good. " In many respects he bears a close resemblanceto Nergal or Mars. Like him, he is a god of battle and of the chase, presiding over the king's expeditions, whether for war or hunting, andgiving success in both alike. At the same time he has qualities whichseem wholly unconnected with any that have been hitherto mentioned.
