A new discovery has led to an expanded translation of Tablet V of the Epic of Giglamesh.
Gilgamesh and Enkidu go to the Cedar Forest to slay the demon Humbaba. The new translation gives greater richness to the story and explains more of our heroes' motivations, and confirms Enkidu's childhood spent with the demon.
