I've just read a book that it occured to me other Digesters might find interesting. Fay Sampson - "Star Dancer". It's a retelling of the Sumerian myths, including how Air separated his parents Sky and Earth, and several trips to and rescues from the Underworld. I've had problems finding a readable version of the Sumerian stories before (with the exception of Gilgamesh - and he's here as well). I'm not sure how true to the originals this is, but it's a very good read.
