From Epic of Gilgamesh. Opening quote in "A Dirty Job" by Christopher Moore

Greek storytelling pulls from many different traditions and cultures, particularly Mesopotamia due to the close trade relationship the two civilizations shared. The Epic of Gilgamesh proves this relationship.

This retelling of key parts of the Epic explores the unconventional idea that Gilgamesh was not searching for life eternal on Earth, as has been suggested as the theme of the Epic, but was instead searching for the means of transport to return to his goddess mother Ninsun’s home planet in the heavens. Taking poetic licence, the author merges some ideas from modern science and technology with the story from the ancient text.
