Abstract
The paper surveys two repetitions that frame the sections of the cosmogony and the anthropogony in Enūma Eliš (IV 105–134 and V 67–84; V 113–130 and VI 39–58). In light of the duplications and inconsistencies that are caused by these repetitions, as well as the distinct content present in the cosmogony and the anthropogony in comparison to other parts of Enūma Eliš, this paper suggests that these resumptive repetitions serve the author as an editorial technique to integrate secondary material into an existing continuum at a relatively-later stage of the formation of Enūma Eliš.
