lwilliams1922 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Oh how much there is that i don't know. Can anyone help? I found 2 different stories for Gilgamesh. I just got a copy of adam and his kin. here the story has him describing a flood story (before Noah) WTM has it described as a creature that comes and ends up fighting with then befriending Gilgamesh, - no mention of flood- the story takes place AFTER Noah. Can anyone shed some light? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Maybe this will help, the wikipedia entry on Gilgamesh has some good information on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_of_Gilgamesh I have the Penguin Classics version but there are other good translations.
