The thesis aims to identify the public life in Babylonian society given literary texts produced or reproduced during the Kassite period when the people of Mesopotamia were keen to convey the artistic production through literary texts to the generations that followed. The thesis aimed to research the manifestations of those aesthetic concepts that were embodied by the contents of several of the various anthology of Mesopotamian literature.
The thesis concluded that the Kassite period, which lasted more than four centuries, and thirty-four kings passed through it. The Kassite period witnessed a remarkable activity in the movement of authoring and reproducing many epics and legends, and the literature of wisdom was represented by the poems of divine justice that were popular in that period
