The Story of Literature EP1 | The First Scribes: Tales from the Fertile Crescent

This episode travels back to the dawn of writing in Mesopotamia. We explore the world's first known literary work, the Epic of Gilgamesh, and discuss how ancient civilizations in the Near East used cuneiform script not just for records, but to wrestle with the fundamental human questions of life, death, friendship, and the divine.
