Thanks for posting. I've always thought the epic of Gilgamesh was an excellent read, even today. Too bad more people aren't as familiar with it as we are Homer.

There was an episode of Star Trek (TNG) that had Pecard relating the story of Gilgamesh to an alien. I thought the juxtposition of the oldest known tale and the futuristic setting was pretty cool.

You're welcome.
I first read the Gilgamesh epic in college, which sparked my interest in the history & archaeology of this period.

I'm not a Star Trek fan, but that juxtaposition does sound like it would make for a great story line.

UMmmm... doughnuts!
