REVIEWS Lluís Feliu, The God Dagan in Bronze Age Syria , trans. Wilfred G. E. Watson. Culture & History of the Ancient Near East 19 (Leiden: Brill, 2003). Pp. xii + 356. € 96/$134. ISBN 90-04-13158-2. Lluís Feliu’s The God Dagan in Bronze Age Syria is the fi rst book-length work on this deity in seventy- fi ve years. Since H. Schmökel’s 1928 publication of his doctoral thesis, our understanding of Bronze Age Syria has progressed considerably. Schmökel’s work appeared before the important archives at Ugarit, Ebla and Emar were discovered, and the fi nds at Mari were only beginning to come to light. So the publication of Feliu’s revised and translated University of Barce- lona dissertation represents a major advance in our understanding both of the individual god Dagan and of Bronze Age Syrian reli- gion in general. In addition to providing a translation and translit- eration of nearly every ancient Near Eastern text as well as relevant personal names in which the name of Dagan occurs, Feliu o ff ers an analysis of the important problems that have arisen over the last century of scholarship regarding this god. Feliu begins his discussion of Dagan in chapter 1
