The Epic of Gilgamesh and the Goddess Ishtar

An introduction by Morris Jastrow. Narrated by Denis Daly.

The story of the adventures of the mythical hero Gilgamesh is the most considerable literary production that has come down to us from ancient Babylonia. Unfortunately, it was not preserved in complete form. This recording is of the fullest translation which had yet been issued in English when it was first published in 1917.
