The Intellectual Heritage of the Ancient Near East, pp. 801-814, 2023/04/12
Proceedings of the 64th Rencontre Assyriologique Internationale and the 12th Melammu Symposium, University of Innsbruck, July 16‒20, 2018
This paper collects and examines texts which provide information on how the Hittite kings used emotions for the control of their subjects. The terms occurring more often are kartimmiya- „to get / be angry“ and nahsaratt- „fear; reverence“, both with derivations and synonyms. But there are also passages where emotions are not expressed, though we can be sure that they played a role for the mentioned reactions of the involved king.
