Since the entire world is in flux on a daily basis, here’s a short lecture on some of my favorite elements of a story that’s survived 4 millennia.

Fascinating. Since I am not part of your class what are you using for a text?
I prefer the Norton Critical Edition of Gilgamesh, since it includes text from other versions besides the “Standard.” It’s available here:
https://www.amazon.com/Epic-Gilgamesh-Norton-Critical-Second/dp/0393643980/
The Andrew George translation published by Penguin is also excellent, but missing some of the old Sumerian sections of the story.
Thanks
