Definición

  • One of the deepest roots of global culture lies in the ancient Near East, which has had as profound an influence on Western civilization as the later cultures of Greece and Rome. Momentous themes emerged from Near Eastern literature, such as lost innocence, undying love, leaders as good shepherds, sanctified justice, and sanctified war.
