Stories from Ancient Canaan is a fully revised edition of the highly authoritative and readable presentation of the principal Canaanite myths and epics discovered at Ugarit.

This edition takes into account advances in the reading, understanding, and interpretation of these stories since 1978, including two additional texts, expanded introductions, and illustrations.
