The Ancient Tradition: Audio Writ

The Epic of Gilgamesh, Tablet VI


Listen Later

Hidden within the poetic verses of the Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the world's oldest religious texts, are indispensable clues to the nature and origin of the world's earliest religious tradition- The Ancient Tradition.  Once you've given Tablet VI a listen, turn your ear to our sister podcast, The Ancient Tradition, where we reveal striking similarities in the ancient record- myths, cosmologies, theologies, and sacred writings- which point to an original, pure religion in deep antiquity.  Is it the true religion?  If so, you are in for the theological adventure of a lifetime.

In this audio recording of the Epic of Gilgamesh, Tablet VI, the goddess Ishtar falls for King Gilgamesh.  Gilgamesh rejects her advances.  Enraged, Ishtar petitions her father,  Anu, to supply her with the Bull of Heaven (Taurus) so she can make Gilgamesh pay.  The Bull of Heaven causes destruction in Uruk.  Gilgamesh and Enkidu slay the bull and return to the palace to celebrate their victory.
