Starting in 3 days: a new course on Gilgamesh

“If Gilgamesh tells us anything about the human condition, he does so by embodying its farthest possible extreme. He is a litmus test for us all: what he cannot do, none of us can hope to, and this makes his failure to become immortal all the more poignant.” —Sophus Helle

Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind course on Gilgamesh, led by celebrated scholar and translator of the ancient epic, Sophus Helle. 

Three sessions: May 22, May 29, & June 5
2:30–3:45 p.m. EDT 
Live over Zoom

Have to miss a session? Recordings are available after each class meets.
