The Flood Myth: The Epic Of Gilgamesh

Old Testaments in the bible shows dislike for the Danites, whom they called serpents. Nevertheless, they adopted Daniel and transformed him into a Hebrew prophet. Historians say that Daniel is not a personal name but more like a title. His “powers” were like the Goddess Dana and her scared serpents in Egyptian history. Daniel of the Bible is related to Dana Goddess of the Celtic Europe.

He shut his eyes and got his sword and BANG he cut of the monster neck and he lay down the

On his deathbed Enkidu states, “I do not die like one who falls in the midst of battle” (62). He is still in denial about being a mortal, but still succumbs to death anyway. This hits close to home with Gilgamesh, who still at this point believes he is bulletproof. Gilgamesh grieves the death of Enkidu, not knowing how to continue his life without him. While the death saddened him, it also frightened him.

Odysseus did not want to go war because his son, Telemachus, was just born but he went anyways. Odysseus’s abyss occurred when he sees the prophecy and saw that his mom died and everyone was still grieving. In The Odyssey there were many initiations but the most significant one was, when Odysseus and his men find the cyclops and they are not able to escape. To enable the men to escape Odysseus gets the cyclops drunk, then stabs him in the eye, and then escapes riding on the bottom of the sheep. Finally his return was when Odysseus returns to Ithica he finds that other men are trying to take over his throne.

Cortney Reid- Slocum Dr. BARGERON History 1121 7 March 2016 The Epic of Gilgamesh Tablets: IX, X, XI Here Gilgamesh is wandering the wild, completing his death after Enkidu dies. Then he visits an old tavern keeper who tells him death is inevitable for all men. Now Gilgamesh asks Uta-napishti how he became immortal and Uta-napishti tells the story on how he and his wife were sole survivors of the flood

The relationship between mortals and gods, therefore, is often antagonistic, and those who have not been subject to favoritism by the gods are fated to suffer. Furthermore, the gods are linked with actual places and people, for whom they act as patrons. Enkidu, who had been created by Aruru, was sent by the gods as an entity of impact for Gilgamesh, which would later turn out to be of deep influence while Gilgamesh searches for means of avoiding the death which had befallen Enkidu. Additionally, the Flood itself, noted for its comparison to the Noahic story from the Old Testament, is the product of angry gods, essentially because humanity was too vulgar and disgraceful. Only Utnapishtim, warned ahead of time by the goddess Ea to "[take] aboard the boat the seed of all living things" (Page 143, Tablet XI, line 27), endures the disaster alongside the family.

The film Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters is all about Thalia protecting the Camp Half Blood. Thalia is the daughter of Zeus that sacrificed her own life to save Annabeth, Grover and Luke from an attack of Cyclops and was transformed by her father in a magical tree. Suddenly, Percy Jackson is visited by his half-brother Cyclops Tyson and they discovered that Thalia was poisoned and is about to die. Then the camp is attacked by a Colchis Bull but it is conquered by Percy. Then he learned that Luke is the one that has poisoned the magical tree.

For instance; when he loses his companion, Enkidu, Gilgamesh recalls the mortality in this citation and afterward he chooses to look for immortality. “Give me your armor to put on your shoulders; The Trojans might suppose I was you, Hold back, and give the Acheans' sons a breather, For breathing spells in war are very few. Then, with a shout, fresh men might easily turn tired men from the ships toward the city." So, like a fool he begged; for it would be an evil death and doom for himself he asked” (Lines 40-47 Book

In search of compensation for their aid and losses, the humans of Lake Town and elves march to the Lonely Mountain for a share in the treasure but are denied by Thorin and they end up besieging the Front Gate. Bilbo attempts to make peace by joining the humans but fails. At this moment, an army of goblins and Wargs storm the mountain, and this forces the humans, elves and dwarves to join together to defeat a common enemy. They almost lose, but the arrival of Beorn and the eagles secures the win.

While on the planet, an unexpected tidal wave claims the life of Dr. Doyle and delays the crew by approximately three hours (23 years in Earth-time). Following this, they go to Mann’s planet, over Amelia’s objections, to find a frozen wasteland covered in glaciers and having a poisonous atmosphere. Dr. Mann, who had faked the data on the habitability of his planet in the hopes of being rescued, tries to kill Cooper and steal Endurance. Although his plan is thwarted, it claims the life of Dr. Romilly as well as that of Mann himself. Running short on fuel, Cooper sacrifices himself by falling into the black-hole with TARS so that Amelia can reach Edmunds’ Planet.

For instance, Samuel and Tony were fishing and Sam told him the story of the magical golden carp, “The river was full of dangers to the new fish. So he went to the other gods and told them he chose to be turned into a carp and swim in the river where he could take care of his people. The gods agreed... they made him very big and colored him the color of gold. And they made him the lord of all the waters of the valley” (Anaya 74).

The beggar says that the Odysseus is the eagle that will come to kill all the “geese” or suitors and no one will “escape from death and doom” (193). Penelope still finds this hard to believe and decides to let Telemachus live a happy life with no worries by leaving him and marrying a suitor. She will hold a contest to and marry the suitor that will shoot an arrow through twelve iron axe heads. The beggar tells her that Odysseus “will be here before the suitors” and win the contest (193). Penelops is reluctant to believe this and cries herself to

At the first moment they met, Enkidu nor Gilgamesh would have had a second thought that the person they were against would become their most favored companion. When Gilgamesh is condemning Enkidu at the beginning of Chapter Two there is no feeling that Enkidu will change Gilgamesh's life, give meaning to it, or even deepen it. The relationship between Enkidu and Gilgamesh is the basis of the Epic of Gilgamesh.

The Parallel Stories Whether God is real or not, there’ve been many stories in ancient times concerning god. Especially stories about floods. For example “The Epic of Gilgamesh”, and “Noah and the Flood”. The Epic of Gilgamesh, is one of the oldest epics ever to be created. The sumerian story was composed before 2000 B.C.

The Epic of Gilgamesh is the oldest written epic known to humanity. It sets a baseline and the standard from which all other literature was developed. The Epic of Gilgamesh is very well reflected in the Hebrew Bible through its first book, Genesis. In this paper, I will analyze The Epic of Gilgamesh, Genesis, what they have in common, and their differences.
