The Epic of Gilgamesh: Book XI

Andrea, Brandon, and Matt discuss the final book of the Epic of Gilgamesh. We see the culmination of Gilgamesh's pursuit of immortality, a near eastern flood narrative, and many other connections to the Old Testament narrative. The hosts discuss whether the ending is satisfying and lay out some questions for the Q&A episode.Matt's Groundhog Day blog post: https://classicalconversations.com/blog/groundhog-day/Join the discussion on CIRCE Circle: https://circe.circle.so/c/overdue-classics/Send questions or comments to [email protected] the books here: https://bookshop.org/lists/overdue-classics Hosted on Acast.
