A essential resource that traces the reign of Sargon in context

Josette Elayi’s book is the one existing biography of Sargon II, the famous Assyrian king, who was once a megalomaniac and a warlord. Elayi addresses such essential questions, including what was once his precise role within the disappearance of the dominion of Israel; how did Sargon II reach enlarging the borders of the Assyrian Empire by a couple of successful campaigns; how did he organize his empire (administration, trade, agriculture, libraries), and what was once the so-referred to as sin of Sargon?

  • Interpretations of decisive events throughout the life and reign of the Assyrian king
  • An evaluation of Sargon II s reign
  • Maps, tables, and illustrations
