brilliantly uses the night as a motif which plays
a valuable role in the play. He combines this

Assyrian Weapons And Warfare
1,625 words
The Assyrians have long been known as a ruthless
and barbaric people of the ancient civilizations.

like a science (Riley, 45). The Assyrians even had
special schools set up to teach sapping (military
demolition of walls etc. ) and mining city walls
(Riley, 45). The Assyrians were the innovators of

him and his realities: city people who either have
faith, or secular humanists who are so remote from
reality that even when they love humanity they
despise humans because of their own inability to

render perceptive instants), this poem, while
apparently simple, utilizes a three-part temporal
