Evaluation of Ḫattušili-I Testament in the Context of Threat Concept

Abstract

The will of Hittite King Ḫattušili I encompasses a plethora of information. The course will encompass a wide range of topics that illustrate the complex web of social, and interpersonal relationships among the Hittites. Moreover, this network of relationships incorporates aspects that manifest in diverse conceptions pertaining to existence. The notion of "danger" encompasses conflict, violence, anxiety, dread, risk, and trust. The will addresses the heir apparat’s selection, and upbringing, unstable subordinate societies, rebellions by dynasty members instigated by the populace or their elders, intra-dynastic conflicts, and incompatibilities with Ḫattušili, as well as the actions, and penalties enacted by Ḫattušili. The will also underscores additional significant matters, including duties to the deities, methods for sustaining physical, and mental well-being, and the potential harm to the integrity of the state, and its populace if Ḫattušili's mandates, and prohibitions regarding virtuous, and moral conduct are disregarded, among others. The previously researched themes evidently connect to the discussed subjects.
