Table of Contents
The Epic of Gilgamesh is an old Mesopotamian poem about the king of Uruk. Tablet I introduces Gilgamesh and the making of Enkidu.
On this site, Tablet I is R. Campbell Thompson’s English of 1928, which is in the public domain. A modern English (Maureen Gallery Kovacs, 1989) used to stand on the page without credit. I have replaced it.
Read Tablet I.
