The Epic of Gilgamesh, Part 2: The Library, the Museum, and the Lawsuit

Books of All Time

For the second part of our look at the Epic of Gilgamesh, we're heading to the 19th century for a little wildcat archaeology and museum curator drama. Hear about how the most famous story about Gilgamesh's first modern translator getting naked at the office might not be true, and exactly what kind of animal Rose thinks former British Prime Minister William Gladstone most resembled.
