Myths and Legends of Babylonia and Assyria

Myths of Babylonia and Assyria is a book by Donald Alexander Mackenzie published in 1915.

[2] The book contains several plates in colour of illustrations by the famous Ernest Wallcousins which depict different scenes of Babylonian and Assyrian religion, such as The temptation of Ea-Bani, The Shepherd fins the babe Semiramis, and The Babylonian Deluge.

[3] Similar to Lewis Spence's book on the topic, it covers mythology, history, culture and even race[4] of ancient Mesopotamia, including some translations of ancient hymns to gods and goddesses.

The theme of race is heavily touched on in the book, such as the 16th chapter titled "Race Movements that Shattered Empires" which goes in-depth about how the migration of different peoples affected Mesopotamian history and human history as a whole.
