Sargon of Akkad: From Gardener to King of the Four Corners of the World

Sargon's story is the tale of the hero who rises from obscure beginnings to save his people. Whether he was seen as this kind of savior by those who lived under his reign is doubtful, considering the number of rebellions he had to put down. As the centuries passed, however, whatever difficulties the people had with Sargon's rule were forgotten, and all that was remembered were his heroic feats and the 'golden age' of the Akkadians.

Shulgi of Ur: Greatest King of the Ur III Period

Shulgi of Ur is regularly credited with either initiating or encouraging the rebirth of Sumerian culture known as the Sumerian Renaissance. While his father, Ur-Nammu, had presented himself to his people as a father-figure and guide, Shulgi claimed the status of a god. His reign is well documented as he had many scribes making inscriptions of his accomplishments, but this documentation has been challenged on the grounds of inaccuracy. While it does seem clear that Shulgi reigned well, the majority of the documents relating to the details of his rule were those he ordered to be set down, including the famous A Praise Poem of Shulgi. Later chroniclers would accuse him of impiety and falsification of records, but the archaeological evidence seems to support his version of his reign fairly well.

Mitanni

The Kingdom of Mitanni, known to the people of the land, and the Assyrians, as Hanigalbat and to the Egyptians as Naharin and Metani, once stretched from present-day northern Iraq, down through Syria and into Turkey and was among the greatest nations of its time, though today it is largely forgotten.

HURRIANS: 

THE Hurrians (aka Hurri or Khurri) were a Bronze Age people who flourished across the Near East from the 4th millennium BCE to the 1st millennium BCE. Hurrian is also the name of the language these people spoke and, indeed, is the one constant and identifying feature of the culture over time and geography. 

Hurrians formed the principal cultural element of the Bronze Age Mitanni kingdom and blended with the culture of the neighbouring, and then conquering, Hittites. By the late Bronze Age, the Hurrians had been assimilated into surrounding cultures in the Near East but many of their gods and myths would live on in later cultures, notably the Urartu civilization, and even inspire elements of myth found in Archaic Greece.
