UNLOCKED: Myth of the Month 24: The Epic of Gilgamesh -- pt. 1: The History
Unlocked after 1 year for patrons only:
He is the earliest human being whose name and life story are known to history. We examine the origins and contents of the most ancient narrative ever found anywhere on Earth, and trace how it has been rediscovered, re-used, and re-translated in the modern world, becoming a living and evolving text in a time of anxiety over the fate of civilization.
