| Summary: | Antoine Cavigneaux’s (2014) recent edition of the Tell Haddad version of Adapa allows for a fresh assessment of the myth in all of its available versions. Close examination of the Tell Haddad version and the Amarna Tablet in particular reveals that the two display different sets of logic and foci, with only the latter concerned especially with Adapa and his fate. This distinction is reflective not merely of fluidity in copying but instead appears to indicate evidence of revision in the course of transmission. I greatly appreciate the constructive feedback that I received on this article from Jerrold Cooper, Paul Delnero, Daniel Fleming, and Thomas Schneider. I take full responsibility for the ideas in and final shape of this article, however, including points at which I depart from their suggestions. I also wish to thank Antoine Cavigneaux for his tremendous generosity in allowing me advance access to his much-coveted edition of the Tell Haddad version of Adapa. |
