A strange graphic for an odd episode. Gilgamesh is widely honored as an epic kind of hero, a great king sent by the gods themselves. In this episode, I walk us through some historical records and then go ahead and point out some of the more despicable sides of a man who is most certainly the prototype for the hero's journey. Take this with a grain of salt, breathe, and laugh a little.
