Much of the surviving text of the Epic of Etana tells the story of an eagle and a snake . The eagle and snake are extraordinary creatures, and their story abounds with mythological subtext . This paper argues that the Neo-Assyrian recension of Etana was amended to include explicit references to the eagle and the snake by the names of their mythological counterparts, anzû and bašmu . These references occur in two analogous contexts and serve the same narrative purpose: to dehumanize the other when the eagle and the snake seek to do each other harm . The deliberate character of these changes and their symmetry suggest that they are the product of a conscientious scribe with a developed literary sensibility .

Eagle and the Snake, or anzû and bašmu?
