The Epic of Gilgamesh: Prologue through Book II

Matt, Andrea, and Brandon reach far back to one of our oldest stories, The Epic of Gilgamesh. The oldest fragments of this story are from Akkadian tablets, dating back almost 1000 years before Homer composed his epics. Join us as we discuss the sense of deep connection to the narrative of the Old Testament and much more.
