Host Mitch Jeserich reads excerpts from Stephen Mitchell’s Gilgamesh: A New Version. Gilgamesh is considered the oldest epic in the world and a masterpiece of literature.
Gilgamesh is the story of a historical king of Uruk in Babylonia and his journey of self-discovery. Along the way, Gilgamesh discovers that friendship can bring peace to a whole city and that wisdom can be found only when the quest for it is abandoned.
