The Epic of Gilgamesh: Book XI

Andrea, Brandon, and Matt discuss the final book of the Epic of Gilgamesh. We see the culmination of Gilgamesh's pursuit of immortality, a near eastern flood narrative, and many other connections to the Old Testament narrative. The hosts discuss whether the ending is satisfying and lay out some questions for the Q&A episode.
