Historiography, in: HHE 469-495. [Ch. 10; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110661781-011. Abstract: The self-representation of Hittite kings in many textual genres, gives us
some indication of the desired royal image of the Hittites themselves. It was
mainly the urge for legitimacy and the fear of being ousted by their rivals that
led the Hittite kings to defend themselves in their texts or to engage in propaganda.
Similar was also the reason to be especially active in historiography. This article
is intended to discuss this topic of the Hittite kings.] Neue Abfrage | New Search
