About this product

Product Information

Gilgamesh, King of Uruk, and his companion Enkidu are the only heroes to have survived from the ancient literature of Babylon, immortalized in this epic poem that dates back to the 3rd millennium BC. Together they journey to the Spring of Youth, defeat the Bull of Heaven and slay the monster Humbaba. When Enkidu dies, Gilgamesh's grief and fear of death are such that they lead him to undertake a quest for eternal life. A timeless tale of morality, tragedy and pure adventure, The Epic of Gilgamesh is a landmark literary exploration of man's search for immortality.

    The Epic of Gilgamesh

    This makes for a quick and illuminating read. Gilgamesh (the city boy and King of Uruk)and Enkidu (the child of the wilderness who becomes domesticated by the introduction of the Harlot who is most likely a Priestess of the Temple of Ishtar) kill the Guardian of the Cedar Forest, Humbaba, kill the Heavenly Bull (most certainly marking the end of the age of Taurus), and become legendary in turn.

In the last tablet, tablet 11, we are witness to Utanapishtim's story of the Flood and we hear of the Anunnaki, which those of you who have delved into the world of Zacharia Sitchin will recognize. There are many Sumerian Gods that you will learn about in these texts. Their incompleteness is a bit ...

    Good Book

    As a Christian, it is interesting to read this book and see what is similar to the Bible. Besides that, the isn’t too bad.

    A really great book to read and /or study

    I have heard a lot about The Epic of Gilgamesh, How it contains an earlier version of the flood and has stories that also appear in the BIBLE. It is a wonderful read, very easy to get into. and it makes for a great comparison.
