This is part 1 of "A Revolt against Death: The Epic of Gilgamesh". See next week's episode for part 2. This episode talks about the Epic of Gilgamesh of ancient Mesopotamia, poetry nearly 4000 years old. I will be telling stories, but I’ll also talk about how they explore this longstanding theme: humanity’s fear of and challenge to death.
