When I was reading Gilgamesh, I could find some similarities with the Bible. Firstly, there are a lot of names appeared. I tried to color or highlight people’s name while reading it and to distinguish who is who, but I got so exhausted after few pages… not only the number of names, but it was repeated at least 3times for each name.
The second similarity was narrative setting throughout the whole content. Most of the sentences are short, and its meaning was directly presented. Even though the translation made me hard to understand what it’s about, but I can tell this literature wants clear spread out of story line.
