Assirologia, Estudos Clássicos, EcocríticaAbstract
O texto propõe uma crítica ao antropocentrismo das metodologias tradicionais de estudo das antiguidades (mesopotâmica e greco-romana). Após delinear uma breve revisão bibliográfica, revisita trabalhos recentes de ecocrítica aplicados a esses campos de estudo. Em seguida, oferece uma contribuição a esse debate, mostrando como uma perspectiva ecológica suscita uma outra compreensão de um episódio central da Epopeia de Gilgámesh: a destruição de Humbaba, Guardião da Floresta de Cedros.
