The epic of Gilgamesh is considered the earliest surviving work of literature from Mesopotamia, containing five Sumerian poems about Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, dating from the third dynasty of Ur, circa 2100 BC. These poems are standalone, but also contained within the much expanded Akkadian, which I hope to read in a future series. The original poems were written on a clay tablet and partially damaged over time, leaving transcriptions of the great epic slightly unfinished. The version favored by most scholars is the Andrew George translation, which I’ll be reading for you today.
A very special thank you goes out to Michael (@CrankageGames) and Yasmine-Nadia (@KaleidoscopeGS), for recommending this wonderful epic for us. You can find them on Twitter or here on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdl44YA_bJWmMb4UQ30wzrQ) where @CrankageGames creates raunchy/hilarious comedy RPGs on Steam
