Publisher's Summary
The Epic of Gilgamesh is the oldest story that has come down to us through the ages of history. It predates the Bible, The Iliad and The Odyssey. The Epic of Gilgamesh relates the tale of the fifth king of the first dynasty of Uruk (in what is modern-day Iraq), who reigned for 126 years, according to the ancient Sumerian list of kings. Gilgamesh was first inscribed in cuneiform writing on clay tablets by an unknown author during the Sumerian era and has been described as one of the greatest works of literature in the recounting of mankind's unending quest for immortality.

Good
Very good. The narrator is excellent. The story is remarkable, especially given that parts have quite clearly been integrated into the Bible and possibly also The Iliad.

Very old fashioned translation
And overacted reading.
But still a classic of world literature and worth a couple of hours of your time
