Gilgamesh v. Genesis
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that discusses the viewpoints of the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Book of Genesis concerning the meaning of the flood narrative. The story of a great flood in Gilgamesh, the ancient Babylonian epic, and in the Book of Genesis are remarkably similar. They both concern deities deciding to destroy humanity through water and the salvation of one specific man and his family. But while these stories parallel each other in many of their details, they also indicate that the cultural themes of ancient Iraq and Israel were actually quite different. The Babylonian myth concerns the capricious nature of the gods, along with the reassuring message that humanity is meant to live, while the Hebrew myth is designed to emphasize the standards of behavior that Jehovah demands in order to avoid retribution against wickedness. No additional sources cited.
