Abstract: In this paper we shall define the analytic continuation of the multiple (Euler-Riemann-Zagier) zeta functions of depth

$\begin{displaymath}\zeta(s_1,\dots,s_d):= \sum _{0<n_1 < n_2<\cdots<n_d} \frac{1}{n_1^{s_1}n_2^{s_2}\cdots n_d^{s_d}},\end{displaymath}$

where $\re(s_d)>1$ and $\sum _{j=1}^d\re(s_j)>d$ . We shall also study their behavior near the poles and pose some open problems concerning their zeros and functional equations at the end.
