		LugalBanda is the first king on the Sumerian king list to have the element LU.GAL in his name.
		Before expanding his political power, LugalBanda bore the title of EnAratta, "Lord of Aratta," a citystate in the north, under the name of Ensukusbsiranna.2' Aratta is evidently the sante as Urartu, the land called Ararat in the Bible.
		It is interesting that the element KUSH should appear in the earlier name borne by LugalBanda (i.e., Ensukushsiranna), since Cush is the name of Nimrod's father in the Bible.

	The gods of war \| By genre \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		The writer who retells a traditional tale, whether hearthside squib or stirring epic, whether prose or verse, faces daunting responsibilities: to engage with the culture from which the tale comes; to understand its nature and find a voice for its somewhat impersonal, distilled wisdom; to make the leap from oral to literary.
		All this may remind us of the present conflict in the land between the Tigris and the Euphrates, but Henderson's pedagoguery is decently concealed and her telling is simple, stately, graceful, sometimes staccato, sometimes incantatory.
		Henderson's laudable sense of responsibility to her text is reinforced by her capable and very interesting foreword and endnotes, and Jane Ray's research into Sumerian culture has likewise paid off.

		According to Jacobsen there appear to be three epics involving Lugalbanda, who somewhat enigmatically was originally deified but whose status gradually declined to mere mortal ruler - although when he is incidentally mentioned in other tales his status as a deity tends to survive.
		The first of his epics, Lugalbanda in the Mountain Cave ( Lugalbanda and Mount Hurrum per Kramer), describes how he and his brothers led Enmerkar’s army across the mountains to subdue Aratta, and how he fell ill on the way, forcing his brothers to leave him in a cave with plentiful provisions.
		The third epic, Lugalbanda and Ninsun, tells how he married his goddess wife in the eastern mountains and brought her back to Uruk.

		Acknowledging the fragmentary nature of Sumerian poetry, he turns what might be considered a serious obstacle to the enjoyment of the literature into an asset.
		The book features Black's complete English translations of Lugalbanda, a narrative poem about the eponymous hero and his encounter with a monstrous bird, and its sequel, Lugalbanda in the Mountain Cave.
		Looking closely at the imagery in the Lugalbanda poems, Black perceives in them a rich and sophisticated poetic imagination and technique, which, far from being in any sense 'primitive,' are so complex as to resist modern literary analysis.
