Previous Episode: LXIX: The Mesopotamians Did It First, the Epic of F---ing Gilgamesh

Next Episode: LXXI: He’s Greek & He’s Roman, He’s Making Juno Angry, He's Aeneas, Baby! (The Aeneid Part 1)

Part two of the Mesopotamian epic, the first recorded work of literature, the Epic of Gilgamesh!

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
