I began fussing with the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Enuma Elish because a group of people with whom I work were curious about Noah. And I can’t‚ of course‚ teach about Noah and the Flood without teaching about the different creation stories in Genesis 1 and 2. And I most assuredly can’t do them any credit if I don’t make a nod to other Ancient Near East literature.
