Abstract
A number of Akkadian
prayers contain a section where the petitioner requests that the high god reconcile the petitioner with his personal gods. The present contribution analyzes these prayers and argues that the aforementioned section is secondary and that many
s become more coherent when the theme of reconciliation with the personal gods is removed. The discordance introduced by this theme suggests a large-scale revision of this body of literature, perhaps in the context of use in royal rituals. Appended to the study are lists of
s that contain the mention of the anger of the personal god in their request section.
