Gilgamesh

The epic of Gilgamesh is an ancient epic where there is a flood caused by Gods that destroys much of Earth except for a few survivors that survive on a boat they built. In this way it is very similar to the story of Genesis in the bible. The two stories were also very different. In Genesis God creates the flood because man became wicked and evil and in Gilgamesh the Gods created the flood because they found the human race annoying. I feel like in genesis God thought he was making the world a better place by causing the flood and did it as a selfless act and in Gilgamesh the Gods did it for a selfish reason. Another difference is that God felt remorse for causing the flood in Genesis.
