The Epic of Gilgamesh (Mesopotamian mythology) | Dive into the ageless world of Mesopotamia in this enchanting episode of Sleep with Mythology, as we explore the grand city of Uruk and unravel the timeless tale of Gilgamesh. Our journey begins in the crescent-shaped region between the legendary Tigris and Euphrates rivers, the very cradle of civilization, a place ripe with myths, legends, and the origins of written language.

Discover the fascinating transformation of Gilgamesh, a towering figure, two-thirds god, and one-third man, who evolves from a ruthless ruler to a compassionate and humble human. We'll explore his profound friendship with Enkidu, a wild man created by the gods, and the daring adventures they embark upon. How does their companionship foster courage, teamwork, and dedication to community? What universal lessons can we learn from their victory over the monster Humbaba and the celestial Bull of Heaven?

This episode promises a journey through the heartrending moments of loss and grief, the desperation for eternal youth, and the triumphant acceptance of human destiny. Join us and find your place in this ancient tale.
