About this listen

A new version of The Epic of Gilgamesh by Sebastian Lockwood. This is the story of Gilgamesh, King of Kings, who brought back knowledge from before the flood - who loved and lost his companion Enkidu and had to find out why we die.

The Epic of Gilgamesh was written on clay tablets over 4,000 years ago, in what is today Baghdad Iraq - the Biblical Garden of Eden between the Tigris and the Euphrates.

Having performed the story for years, Lockwood gives a passionate reading from a text that faithfully follows the original.

It’s a beautiful story, although I wonder if it’s gotten from the cuneiforms of ancient Mesopotamia?

Good story

Only an hour long but I couldn't finish it. The narrator spoke like he was doing a bad Shatner impression the whole way through. I'm sure it's a good story but I couldnt do it

BIZARRE staccato narration
