الأسد في الفكر العراقي القديم : التأثير و التأثر

الملخص EN

The lion is a symbol of strength and power through its shape and size as well as its voice, and historical sources indicate his presence in the Mesopotamian Valley spread in Babylonia to Ashe country, and here the Babylonian view varied as they revere the lion as a symbol of power, according to the different point of view of the Assyrians who boasted of its killing.

Through this research, I studied a symbolic study of this animal in ancient Iraqi thought, as well as its impact on other ancient world civilizations.
