122. The Epic of Gilgamesh Part 2

We were just getting warmed up last time! The epic continues with Gilgamesh’s clever plan to civilize the wildman Enkidu by introducing him to Shamhat the sacred prostitute. From there it’s all fun and games with epic adventures in Elam and/or Lebanon, fierce monsters, and a goddess scorned. Throw in the first known reference to the Zombie Apocalypse and you have another exciting episode you definitely should not miss!This is a podcast by Dan Hörning and Bernie Maopolski.If you like what we do you can support the Fan of History project on https://www.patreon.com/fanofhistoryContact information:http://facebook.com/fanofhistoryhttps://twitter.com/danhorninghttps://www.instagram.com/dan_horning/Music: “Tudor Theme” by urmymuse.Used here under a commercial Creative Commons license.
