  • Unsucky English, Lecture 1: On Gilgamesh | Beyond School

    Helping Youth Understand Literature... As a youth group leader, and as a Mom I think this was very well done. He approached the subject the same way I learned to approach "boring" subjects with my kids. Grab their attention and keep it, while feeding them the "boring"... more

    Iâ€m bored writing for adults these days, and most of my readers are adults. If youâ€re a student, can you send this link to your friends, put it on Facebook, Stumble it, etc?

    What a great and long standing subject! Gilgamesh and his epic began, my research shows, as a simple entertainment: a storyteller's vision told round and round the night sky like a soap opera. But it evolved as a basis for science and philosophy in the ancient world and is rivaled only by the Tale of the Shipwrecked Sailor and Sinuhe (both out of Egypt) as bedrocks of all our knowledge and cultures.

    Thanks "Ogmin." Talk about a classic, along with the Vedas one can truly open up the mind.

    "...by creating a 'double' for Gilgamesh instead of simply killing him on the spot, he shows that to him, 'sin' is a lack of wisdom. As you'll see, he creates this double so that Gilgamesh may have the experiences he needs to grow wiser."

    I enjoyed this first part of this series. I'll have to read the rest of it.

    This was a lot of fun to read, and it makes some good points. I wish we had had something like this for The Odyssey and the other stuff we read in school.
