Abstract

Regicide and parricide are deeply related topics in culture. The subject of the son that murders his own father to take power is persistent through History. The Ancient Near East gives us a few examples such as the deaths of Ramesses III and Sennacherib from which we exceptionally have some sources, and with them some historiographical problems to solve.
