The Legend of Sargon

 

Akkadian poem about Sargon the Great has a lot of similarities to the baby Moses story.


Chess ~ Chase?

Sargon - computer chess game (Wiki) -   The name "Sargon" was taken from either of the historical kings Sargon of Akkad
(the first king to use his empire to try to conquer the known world)  or Sargon of Assyria. (Ironically, neither ruler would have been
able to play chess since it was not invented until long after their reigns.)
