«Reyes y dioses» is Henri Frankfort's essay on the religion of the ancient Near East, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (520 pages).
The book studies kingship as a central institution in the civilizations of the ancient Near East and reconstructs the thought structures of pre-Greek man from texts and works of art. Frankfort shows how religion integrated society and nature, and offers a historical and phenomenological reading of that world.
Originally published in 1951, it is part of the El Libro Universitario - Essay series (no. 3492041), translated by Belén Garrigues Carnicer.
For readers of the history of religion and the ancient Near East, with an interest in symbolic thought before Greece.
