Epic of Gilgamesh: myths and heroes in ancient Mesopotamia
Marjolein Robertson, a sharp-witted comedian and storyteller, and Dr Moudhy Al-Rashid, an Oxford historian of cuneiform and Mesopotamia, unpack the Epic of Gilgamesh. They trace the poem’s origins, debate whether Gilgamesh was real, follow his quests and friendships, and explore themes like companionship, mortality and environmental care. Lively banter meets deep historical decoding.
