Stephen Mitchell shows imperialism to be the oldest story on earth
with his version of Gilgamesh, says Blair Ogden
Sunday November 14, 2004
The Observer
Gilgamesh
translated by Stephen Mitchell
Profile £14.99, pp290
This version of Gilgamesh shows imperialism to be the oldest story on
earth. The timeliness of republishing the Gilgamesh epic, the original
clash between good and evil set in ancient Iraq, as 'two
civilisations' presently collide over the same ground, is acute.
Earlier this year we watched East and West fight to the death in Troy.
Now, Stephen Mitchell's retelling of the world's earliest recorded
epic reveals uncanny contemporary parallels. Both Homer and Tolstoy
mourn the passing of a historical world: the Iliad captures the last
of the titans, while War and Peace laments a lost aristocracy.
Mitchell's long introduction to Gilgamesh addresses the myth's unique
'relevance to today's world', an epic which speaks about the present.

I'll drop that role and suggest you post a new thread asking the group
what they think of:
1. the number of your posts per day.
2. how many are considered relevant and worthwhile reading.
