An episode from 12/19/20: Tonight, I begin perhaps the most important series of episodes on this podcast, a deep-dive into my favorite stories from mythology and religion.

\\n

I begin with the Mesopotamian epic of Gilgamesh. Reading from the translation by Andrew George (and an earlier one, by N. K. Sandars), I enter the story of Gilgamesh through his friendship with the typical "man of nature," Enkidu, and the "civilizing" process he undergoes.

\\n

Other episodes on Mesopotamian myth can be found here.
