Al-Hussein said that one of the surprises which have been hidden by the Ugaritic archeological edifices are the cuneiforms which are written in the Sumerian language.

Prior to the discovery of the Ugaritic tablets at Ras Shamra in 1929, it was generally accepted that El was originally an appellative even though El-theophoric names are attested among all the Semitic peoples.

While the phrase is translated here "do violence," in other contexts it is used to mean "commit murder." (18) Although the purpose of the Ugaritic troops and ships coming to Amurru is expressed somewhat obliquely as ana hulluqi marat rabiti, "to make the daughter of the Great Lady disappear," the level of anticipated violence by Sausga-muwa makes it clear that life and death are at issue, for the woman as well as for the two kings.

The Ugaritic and Hebrew behemoth and leviathan, for example, have no opposing hero (33-34), and, while "none of the world's cultures --preindustrial, industrial, or postindustrial--have richer or more diverse monster imagery than Japan" (135), there is no discussion of any Japanese monster-slayers.
