Abstract

The legend about the Assyrian kings Nino and Semiramis has arrived to us in sources from different periods and contexts. It has been transmitted in literary (manuscript, ostraca and papyrus tradition) and iconographic (inscriptions, reliefs, coins and mosaics) supports. In the case of the papyri of the lost Ninus’s novel, the way in which protagonist’s bodies are represented could obey ideological reasons.
