Ashurbanipal, or, as he was known to the Greeks, Sardanapalus, reigned from 668 to 626 B.C. He is best known for amassing a library of literary texts including an epic of creation, the Flood and others. Modern scholars have reason to be grateful to Ashurbanipal because he was a lover of learning and collected a great library of cuneiform clay tablets (over 22,000 in number) that have given to us most of what we know of Babylonian and Assyrian literature. http://home.netcom.com/~aldawood/ashur.htm The "great and honorable Ashurbanipal" (Ezra 4:10), soldier, hunter scholar, shown carrying a basket for the rebuilding of a temple in Babylon.
