Iddin-Dagān, inscribed d''i-din'' d''da-gan'', ca. 1910 BC – 1890 BC (short chronology) or ca. 1975-1954 BC (middle chronology), was the 3rd king of the 1st dynasty of Isin, succeeding his father, Šu-ilišu, and reigned 21 years according to the ''Sumerian King List''.〔''Sumerian King List'' extant in 16 copies.〕 He is best known for his participation in the sacred marriage rite and the risqué hymn that describes it. ==Biography== His titles included: mighty king, king of Isin (sometimes king of Ur), king of the land of Sumer and Akkad.〔''lugal-kala-ga'', ''lugal-i-si-in-''KI''-ga'' (''lugal-''KI''-úri-ma''), ''lugal-''KI''-en-gi-''KI''-uri-ke''4.〕 The first year name recorded on a receipt for flour and dates〔Tablet UM 55-21-102, University Museum, Philadelphia.〕 reads: “Year Iddin-Dagān (was) king and (his) daughter Matum-Niatum (“the land which belongs to us”) was taken in marriage by the king of Anshan.”〔''mu'' d''I-dan'' d''Da-gan lugal-e ()-tum-ni-a-tum ()-a-ni lugal An-ša-an(a)''() ''ba-an-tuk-a''.〕 Vallat suggests it was to Imazu, son of Kindattu, who was the groom, as he is described as king of Anshan in a seal inscription, although elsewhere unattested. Kindattu, possibly the 6th king of the region of Shimashki,〔Dynastic list of the kings of Awan and Simashki, Sb 17729 in the Louvre.〕 had been driven from Ur by Išbi-Erra,〔''Išbi-Erra and Kindattu'', tablets N 1740 + CBS 14051.〕 the founder of the dynasty of Isin, but relations had apparently thawed sufficiently for Tan-Ruhurarter, the 8th king to wed the daughter of Bilalama, the ''ensi'' of Eshnunna. There is only one contemporary monumental text extant for this king and another two known from later copies. A fragment of a stone statue〔MM 1974.26 Medelhavsmuseet, Stockholm.〕 has a votive inscription which invokes Ninisina and Damu to curse those who foster evil intent against it. Two later clay tablet copies〔Tablets IM 85467 and IM 85466, National Museum of Iraq.〕 of an inscription recording an unspecified object fashioned for the god Nanna were found by Leonard Woolley in a scribal school house in Ur. A tablet〔Excavation number U 2682.〕 from the Enunmaḫ at Ur dated to the 14th year of Gungunum, (ca, 1868 BC to 1841 BC) of Larsa, after his conquest of the city, bears the seal impression of a servant of his. A tablet〔Tablet UM L-29-578, University Museum Philadelphia.〕 describes Iddin-Dagān’s fashioning of two copper festival statues for Ninlil, which were not delivered to Nippur until 117 years later by Enlil-bāni. Belles-lettres preserve the correspondence from Iddin-Dagān to his general Sîn-illat about Kakkulātum and the state of his troops, and from his general describing an ambush by the Martu (Amorites). The continued fecundity of the land was ensured by the annual performance of the sacred marriage ritual in which the king impersonated Dumuzi-Ama-ušumgal-ana and a priestess substituted for the part of Inanna. According to the ''šir-namursaḡa'', the hymn composed describing it in ten sections (''Kiruḡu''), this ceremony seems to have entailed the procession of male prostitutes, wise women, drummers, priestesses and priests bloodletting with swords, to the accompaniment of music, followed by offerings and sacrifices for the goddess Inanna, or Ninegala. The ceremony reached its climax with the assembly of the “black-headed people” around a dais specially erected for the occasion when the king and priestess copulated to gawking onlookers and is described thus: There are four extant hymns addressed to this monarch, which, apart from the Sacred Marriage Hymn, include a praise poem to the king, a war song and a dedicatory prayer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iddin-Dagan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
