Sargon: Son of the Waters Written by M. Eileen Eisemann Published in 2002 Novelization of the legendary king who is identified as the first person in recorded history to rule an empire. "Tablets tell of Sargon, who ruled more than four millennia ago in the land now called Iraq. A priestess bore Sargon in secret and cast him adrift on the Euphrates in a basket sealed with pitch, a thousand years before Moses was found afloat on the Nile. Rescued by a gardener, Sargon grew to manhood and found favor with the goddess Inanna. As the king's cupbearer, Sargon rose in service and seized power. He created the first standing army, conquered neighboring lands and forged history's first empire. His city, Agade, awaits the archaeologist's spade somewhere in Iraq..."
