Peter, as always, your words inspire. I’m listening to There are Rivers in the Sky by Elif Shafak, which begins with Gilgamesh! You have convinced me to give it a try. Your students are lucky!
Thank you, Christine! Gilgamesh is in fact all over the place once one begins to look. Fascinating how he has become a kind of cultural icon world-wide. As I hinted, I had to warm up to the book, but I do like the Helle edition.
