it's not that influential because it was lost for almost all recorded history. greek myths and the bible have this great accumulation of artistic representations and derivative works that were built up over the course of european history whereas gilgamesh only shows up in the 19th century when they start decoding these tablets. even things like arthurian legends or arabian nights mog gilgamesh in terms of impact and popular awareness.

It's special to us because it's the oldest story we have unearthed. All its relevance is in hindsight. There is no reasons to assume the story was well known in its time outside a narrow region, and there definitely exist both older and more culturally influential stories that are lost to time

It would have been kino during the peak of American animation for us to have gotten a movie of the epic of Gilgamesh though, but it's definitely fundamentally to much of a "bro" story for any honest rendition today.

Exactly. And all of those myths come from an actual flood since most people lived next to rivers. It wasn't the act of god but a natural event that people couldn't understand and got told and retold from generation to generation. The same way locust swarms happen naturally and have nothing to do with god, but the story of one case of locusts swarming Egypt got transformed into divine punishment because it helped the narrative of certain people being chosen by god and back then everybody was retarded and didn't understand nature

>>
>>220618865
Isn't it easily possible and even likely that those motifs aren't original to the Epic of Gilgamesh, they just both come from the same source? If A influenced B & C then D was inspired by C, B is irrelevant in terms of influence even though the will share similarities due to both being influenced by A. Flood myths are found in cultures like the native Americans that migrated thousands of years before Babylonia was around. Gilgamesh is the earliest written example but is likely just one of a million incarnations of the same story.

Saying that the flood myths around the world prove the specific biblical flood is real is like saying that the fact humans in all cultures worship god(s) that this means the biblical God is the one true god. This type of logic makes no sense because it could just as well mean that any one god is real or any one flood myth is the real one.
>>
>>220618511
My soapbox. Gilgmesh was clearly one of the giants described in the Bible. His legend says he was 2/3 a god and 1/3 human. The Genesis chapter 6 account of the giants as offspring of man and Nephilim or fallen ones, fallen angels. Bible also describes them as son's of god but that's a mistranslation, it should read sons of heaven of sons of angels. But it's perfectly understandable why the legend has it as a 2/3 god. Bible describes many giants. Goliath being the most famous, (sorry Gilgamesh.) Gilgamesh was a Sumerian King of the Akkadian era. The Mesopotamian city of Uruk (or Erech) is mentioned in Genesis 10:10. The Bible tells us Moses was raised and an Egyptian prince with all the highest education so it can be assumed Moses was familiar with the epic of Gilgamesh. Moses uses similar idioms found in The Epic of Gilgamesh such as 'ripeness' and 'fruit' to describe sex. If you notice OP picture he's holding a full grown lion. Gilgamesh was a biblical giant. Gilgamesh is mentioned several times in The Book of Giants, part of the Enoch literature found among the The Dead Sea Scrolls. So the legend of Gilgamesh was familiar to many ancient Hebrews, particularly, Moses.

I think the reason why the Bible persevered throughput history is because it's one of the few ancient religious text with semi-competent story telling. Most religious texts read like a high school kid giving a bad book presentation.

they were written for different audiences. Mark is basically just
>x happens and then y happens than then z happens
Matthew and Luke had access to Mark and we believe a second lost document called the "Q source". Matthew is just Mark and Q rewritten for jews saying jesus was king of the jews. Luke is Mark and Q rewritten for nonjews saying Jesus is the son of god and you don't need to cut your dick or stop eating shrimp, all men can worship christ even if you aren't a jew.
John was written later than the other three and was basically one guy preaching his own interpretation of the bible to early christians like the way some people debate theology
>>220626344
>But even a single successful nitpick disproves the idea of inerrancy,
not really. the 4 gospels were written by 4 different guys years after christ died. minor nitpicks don't change anything or make the whole thing wrong. Do we have any historical accounts with 4+ sources where all sources agree with each other on literally every detail?

One error indeed wouldn’t make the whole thing wrong - there clearly historically was a preacher named Jesus who got crucified; mythicism is retarded - but it would mean you couldn’t take the whole thing as being perfect and inerrant in its transmission to humans, which is a position many people have held

Of those the only one I had to study in high school was Gilgamesh. We literally studied Homer and Gilgamesh together, back to back. I never even heard of arabian nights until decades after I got my PhD. But the Arthurian Legends is a good example, I've never had to study that in school ever but it's so well known everyone knows about it from a young age. I would say the Arthurian Legends mogs homer and competes with the Bible in popular awareness

Greek mythology is weak sauce and Greek mythology =/= Homer. Hesiod, same time as Homer was bigger with Greek Mythology
Homer is like the Avengers of ancient Greece. It would be like if WW3 breaks out, 99.9% of humans & civilization & culture are destroyed, then centuries later when humanity rebuilds, the oldest surviving work we have is the Avengers. Then we we start producing quality works again but for thousands of years there are small number of plebes who never studied the Avengers who think it's some sort of great work

With ancient Greece it would be like this

8th century BC - Homer (the Avengers)

6th century BC - Sappho, the "Tenth Muse"

5th century BC
The "Shakespeares" of Ancient Greece emerge

Of the two epics, which one was hundreds of years ahead of its time?

Uruk marked a major shift in human history as humanity transitioned from

1) widespread, mobile hunter-gatherer groups to

To

Most likely, there are a lot of similar tales of giants being massive problem before the great flood. After the great flood, or at least, the great cataclysmic event that upset the entire order of the world, it seems that giants began to die off and got more and more rare. I do think something genuinely did happen in times so long ago at best we only have old tales vaguely recounting it. It really does feel like things were probably getting out of hand with these giants interbreeding with humanity and messing up God's plan, so he basically restarted the whole thing

Ancient Greek architecture was inspired by the wooden buildings that the Greeks then just copied over when they learned stone working from the Egyptians.
Making round stone columns is hard, but it makes sense that they were just copying the simple tree trunk columns that they originally used in their wooden buildings.
Meanwhile Mesopotamia's chief building material was always mudbricks because they didn't have dense forests nearby nor large stone quarries but they lived between two rivers that flooded regularly and deposited large amount of clay, and the sunny climate was perfect for just laying out wet clay bricks and letting the sun do all the work.

No but that sounds interesting. Iirc that's not entirely impossible given what the Bible says, but I'd have to double check.

When reading Uruk's great epic of Gilgamesh, one of the things to read it alongside with is the story of Adam & Eve from Genesis

Garden of Eden
The parallels between the stories of Enkidu/Shamhat and Adam/Eve have been long recognized by scholars.[67][68] In both, a human is created from the soil by a god and lives in nature. He is introduced to a female congener who tempts him. In both stories the man accepts food from the woman, covers his nakedness, and must leave his former home, unable to return. The presence of a snake who steals a plant of immortality from the hero later in the epic is another point of similarity. However, a major difference between the two stories is that while Enkidu experiences regret regarding his seduction away from nature, this is only temporary: After being confronted by the god Shamash for being ungrateful, Enkidu recants and decides to give the woman who seduced him his final blessing before he dies. This is in contrast to Adam, whose fall from grace is largely portrayed as a punishment for disobeying God and the inevitable consequence of the loss of innocence regarding good and evil.

Remember:

While the story of Adam & Eve is allegory, the important concept it introduced to the human race is the concept of Original Sin, which is a foundational principle of Western Civilization

The other two cut off from pic related were:

Resistance to Tyranny:
>Because no human leader was free from this innate corruption, unquestioning obedience to mortal rulers was rejected. It established the idea that human institutions are inherently imperfect, justifying citizens in holding their governments accountable to a higher moral standard.

Critique of Totalitarianism:
>As political philosophers later noted, the belief that humans are universally flawed prevents the glorification of the state. It rejects utopian political movements that demand total submission or promise absolute perfection on earth, thereby protecting individual liberties from state-enforced conformity.
>>
>>220635064
your reading comprehension is abysmal. northern italy today is noticeably less warthy than southern italy, especially sicily. this is partially due to invasions from other parts of europe at the collapse of the western roman empire in the north of italy, and mass importation of slaves from north africa and the near east into sicily.

All of Western Civilization is built on two pillars
1) our Judeo-Christian heritage
2) our Greco-Roman heritage

In addition to Original Sin another foundational principle of Western Civilization is the concept of Monotheism (I didn't ask about the concept of Free Will yet)

Ask AI about Monotheism you get pic related plus:

The Mahabharata is an epic about two branches of a dynasty and a devastating war of succession between them over the throne. It also goes on a lot of tangents on philosophy, religion, state craft etc. The characters are more complex than most and the individual journeys they go on and events and characters from generations before the main charaters were even born all figure in cool ways in the main plot.

It's up there with the Iliad imo because if you look at more and more epics from around the world, most of them are just this warrior/family/tribe going through a series of fairy tale adventures that have very little narrative connection between them.

This is a pretty good prose adaptation

The Anu District (White Temple)
>Located in the older, western sector of the city, this district featured the monumental Anu Ziggurat. Atop this massive platform sat the famous "White Temple," a striking structure made of mud-brick and coated in bright white gypsum plaster.

It sure does. Neat. Its fun to think about the universality of life and how humans develop. Did the Athenians build the Acropolis because it was the highest point and it revers the Gods? Or did they build on the highest point because it was defensible? Are they one and the same? Life, Death, the Gods (((or God for the monotheists)))

Absolute cope. Is much of the OT is based off of Babylonian, Sumerian, and Egyptian mythos? No. That's like saying if there's God and gods then it's similar and therefore based on.

The Hindu Ramayana and Mahabharata not only continue the same story but also has genealogy linking all the characters together as descending from the first man.

Not only do some immortal characters from the older Ramayana appear in the Mahabharata but the descendents of Rama, the hero of the Ramayana, appear in the Mahabharata and are fighting on the antagonists side and get their asses handed to them by the heroes of the Mahabharata.

Yes, it's very rare for ancient epics to have a coherent, continuing story. The Hindu epics did it much before the Bible even.

>how? every culture has a flood myth
Yeah, and every culture has at least some proximity or origin related to a floodplain.
It's a story that relates to all of agricultural societies because it's the most common side effect of relying on the sea or rivers and it's even a catastrophe that deserts are susceptible to.
Even if there was a common origin to all the stories, it's just the story that all farmers will relate to.

I stand by the belief that the reason blue eyes are popular as a testament for divinity is because people developed cataracts from staring at the sun too much.

Its not exactly how I thought the chapter should have gone therefore it's shit, and I'm only being halfway ironic about that. That being said though, what really drags it down is the fact that the director clearly was an Ishtarfag and therefore she takes up way to much space in every scene she's in and also is around for to many scenes that she shouldn't even be present for. I think he even had her survive longer to iirc, which was super annoying. I genuinely came to watch the series for literally everything else that was happening because I like the legendary figures of the time as well as the scenario, but Ishtar really detracted greatly from it all. It was supposed to be Gil's story and that bitch can't get out of the way of the camera in every fucking scene damn. Now I really relate to Gilgamesh's feelings towards Ishtar

In the Archaic and Classical periods (7th to 4th centuries BCE), Greek culture widely embraced homosexual relationships

Achilles and Patroclus: The definitive example of same-sex love in Greek literature is the bond between Achilles and Patroclus. In The Iliad, Homer describes them as devoted companions. While Homer does not explicitly detail a sexual relationship, later classical writers (such as Plato) interpreted their intense, grief-driven bond as a model of romantic and heroic same-sex love.

The primary protagonist and greatest hero of the Iliad is Achilles, the supreme Greek warrior. Driven initially by pride and a quest for eternal glory (kleos), his refusal to fight after an insult from Agamemnon dooms the Greeks. He only returns to the battlefield to avenge the death of his beloved Patroclus.

Note that we don't hear much about Achilles (a demigod). Or Odysseus (a human, his mother served the goddess Artemis, and accompanied her in hunting, bearing arrow and quiver). Both are represented as two of the most influential Greek champions during the Trojan War in Homer's account.

Ask AI:
who was the hero that ancient romans looked up to and it gives you a handful of names, none are Achilles or Odysseus

only two that are household names today are Julius Caesar and Heracles

Heracles was also the quintessential hero in ancient Greek culture. So both Greeks and Romans
>Hercules: this demi-god of Greek myth was admired for his physical strength and for laboring selflessly for the benefit of mankind.

Heracles's mythology is one of the foundational stories of Western civilization. Scholars like Walter Burkert theorize that the legends of Heracles originally evolved from early Neolithic hunter cultures and shamanistic folklore before morphing into the demigod hero we know today

The primary historical authors who recorded the life of Heracles include:

Euripides: An ancient Greek playwright who authored the surviving tragedy Heracles, which details the hero's tragic madness.

Diodorus Siculus: A 1st-century BCE Greek historian who compiled the most comprehensive and systematic account of the myths in his Bibliotheca historica (Library of History).

Pseudo-Apollodorus: A Greek scholar who wrote the Bibliotheca (The Library), one of the most extensive surviving handbooks of Greek mythology.

Ovid: A Roman poet who detailed the labors, the hero's death, and his apotheosis in his epic poem Metamorphoses.

Seneca the Younger: A Roman playwright who authored the tragedy Hercules Furens (The Madness of Hercules

That Heiser guy I linked way back there basically argues that Enoch‘s Watchers, the parents (all fathers, I think?) of the Nephilim, are Mesopotamia‘s apkallu, fish sages like Dagon who gave their knowledge to humanity. It’s very easy to read them as fallen angels if you think that knowledge was forbidden
Gilgamesh gets his divinity from his mom‘s side, but nothing I suppose would prevent an apkallu or the next best thing from being a girl, especially if these spirits can, like Milton says, „either sex assume“

What are some historical or mythological epics (You) would want to see adapted?

For me it is the Fall of the Aztec/the Cortes expedition, I think probably ideally as a 12-16 episode series. Amazon did produce Hernan but it's shit accuracy wise

>Atlantis was named after the Atzlan who were the white gods that the Aztecs worshiped. After Atlantis was destroyed, the Atzlan moved to Mexico and founded the Aztec civilization.

Beyond the obvious idiocy of this, this is also stupid because

1. Plato described Atlantis as existing 9000 years before when he lived or some shit, and the Aztec by most definitions didn't exist until around ~1200AD. Even if you go with the most contrived but still loosely nonsensical definition, the Aztec wouldn't exist until 500AD, and I stress that that itself is already a huge stretch. What would the Atlanteans be doing for the missing 10,000 years?

2. There were no "white gods" in Aztec myth. All the descriptions of Aztec gods being white skinned (along many other nonsense details) nly shows up in accounts written decades, maybe even centuries after the fact, with that sort of stuff increasingly being added and stressed over time as subsequent accounts continued to distort things both intentionally and unintentionally. The closest thing to a "white" god in Aztec mythology would be Mixcoatl, who is "white" in a literal sense, he's the color of a sheet of paper with red candy-cane like stripes over him, see pic. Not white as in Caucasian. For more info see this infodump: desuarchive.org/his/thread/17404007/#17407659 though the thread 404'd before I could finish

lmao this is peak /tv/ schizoposting. So now the Norse sagas, the Eddas, the entire Germanic myth cycle, all just DLC for the Old Testament? Odin was actually Odenstein ben-Yahweh who took a wrong turn at Babylon and ended up in Uppsala?

By this logic every culture is secretly Israelites because they also had kings and boats. You can’t just handwave away linguistic, archaeological, and genetic evidence with “lost tribes bro.” That’s not comparative mythology, that’s fanfiction.

If you’re gonna go full conspiracy at least make it entertaining. Tie Ragnarok to Revelation and say Thor is a corrupted memory of Samson or something. Give me some effort.
