Description
In the windswept fields of Bronze Age Syria, the Amorites sowed more than grain-they sowed belief, fear, and prophecy. At the heart of their world stood Dagan, the enigmatic god of grain and fertility, whose whispers through the harvest shaped the destiny of an entire civilization. In Dagan Speaks in the Wind, historian Giovanni Tedesco takes readers on a compelling journey into the spiritual life of the ancient Syrian Amorites. Drawing on myth, archaeology, and cultural analysis, he uncovers a rich tradition of grain oracles, harvest demons, and ritual magic-where the divine will was read in barley kernels and prosperity depended on the appeasement of unseen powers. Blending scholarly depth with narrative clarity, this book reveals how one of the ancient world's most mysterious cultures perceived nature, divinity, and the fragile boundary between survival and ruin. A must-read for anyone fascinated by the intersection of religion, agriculture, and the human need to find meaning in chaos.
