two religious traditions combine over time. In this episode, we’re gonna work from a version of the epic written around 1200 BCE, and see how Gilgamesh himself fits into the
hero’s journey. A fair bit of warning though: in this story, there is a brief mention of rape. At the start of our tale, Gilgamesh is the
