Episode 111: Gilgamesh: Part Two

Kingdom of Thirst

This is the second part of December’s special audio essay series on The Epic of Gilgamesh! This week, Abigail introduces you to romance’s most unlikeable hero: Gilgamesh himself. Discussion includes seventeen foot tall men, charisma out the wazoo, and why this king’s head is really, super-duper empty. You can listen to it or read it at patreon.com/worksbyabigail.

INCREDIBLE MUSIC FEATURED IN THIS EPISODE: Kingdom of Thirst's theme (sans sax) by the incomparable Andrew Machado! bit.ly/2L1LcCL
