ADAPA AND THE FOOD OF LIFE [from "Cuneiform Parallels to the Old Testament " by R.W. Rogers, 1912].

Why hast thou broken the wings Of the South wind? " Adapa answered Anu: 

" My lord, For the house of my lord in the midst of the sea, 

I was catching fish. The sea was like a mirror, 

The South wind blew, and capsized me. 

To the house of my lord was I driven. 

In the anger of my heart, I took heed."
