Here, summerized in a comedic form, is The
Epic of Gilgamesh.
I borrowed the idea, with permission, from the
wonderful Evadane_Noel
who shared her Breadboxes on Fanfiction.net
and later, Livejournal.
So, sit back, grab some tea and enjoy my shortened,
sarcastic, and interesting version of The Epic of Gilgamesh.
Notes: I use mostly a translation of the text by Maureen Gallery
Kovacs. She does not add Tablet 12 to the work because it does
not fit with the original epic. Enkidu is still alive for one
(he dies in Tablet 7) and sent by Gilgamesh into the underworld.
I have decided to also omit Tablet 12 from my Handbasket. |
