The Buried Foundation of the Gilgamesh Epic: The Akkadian Huwawa Narrative - Paperback

by Daniel E. Fleming (Author), Sara J. Milstein (Author)

Contrasts in characterization and narrative logic distinguish the adventure to defeat the monster Huwawa from what precedes and follows it in the Gilgamesh Epic. The Huwawa narrative stands on its own, so that the epic must have been composed from this prior Akkadian composition.
