Editor's Note: This is not the full Epic - and until now, I have never heard it sung even though I know that's how it would have been presented four thousand years ago. I first read the Epic when I was in high school. Later, it formed one of the topics in my English Literature education (despite not being English). Seeing this video made me go back and read it again - still as fascinating to me as it was all those years ago. Readers today might find it a little dense. But, if you're interested, here is an excellent Wikipedia article about The Epic of Gilgamsh: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_of_Gilgamesh - prh, ed. |
