hyperdontiia 's review for:
The Epic of Gilgamesh
by Unknown
[86/166]
I don't know if you can really read the Epic of Gilgamesh "for funsies"... because of the constant holes in the text, the repetition, and the general need for context, not to mention the meandering plot, this was more of a "thing I wanted to have read" than a "thing I wanted to read". Now that I've read it, I'm happy to say that Enkidu and Gilgamesh are married, and that this is some dope mythology. I would love more context generally and the last part with the flood feels really muddled (???) but I feel like it was just too deep. Like a hypothetical flood appearing in many religions based around the middle east. Is there archaeological evidence for a flood somewhere...???
