Notes:

Jason Staples suggested this 2021 translation by Sophus Helle. Since I enjoyed the story of Gilgamesh so much, I decided to add a 3rd reading of it using this translation.

My Thoughts

The essays at the back of this translation were extremely helpful in assisting my understanding of the story, the characters, and the land in which we have this story.
