A new version of The Epic of Gilgamesh by Sebastian Lockwood. This is the story of Gilgamesh, King of Kings, who brought back knowledge from before the flood - who loved and lost his companion Enkidu and had to find out why we die.

The Epic of Gilgamesh was written on clay tablets over 4,000 years ago, in what is today Baghdad Iraq - the Biblical Garden of Eden between the Tigris and the Euphrates.

Having performed the story for years, Lockwood gives a passionate reading from a text that faithfully follows the original.

this was a great adaptation of this epic in everyday other than the recording of it. the narrator himself performs fine the recording is terrible. it seems like it is recorded low but with the treble cranked up high. so it hurts you head if you turn the volume up.

great adaptation of a legendary tale.

If you want to experience the Epic of Gilgamesh as it was probably experienced (and no doubt LISTENED to) by its early contemporary audience, I would try this reasonably priced version. The epic was no doubt originally a story meant to be told by a story teller just as the Gospel was originally delivered to the earliest of Christians. I thought this piece of performance art was well delivered by the man who actually performs it. Yes, in this case you want the piece performed by the person who wrote it. In no way did he either sound like William Shatner or William Shatner playing Captain Kirk, who I don't recall had an English accent nor did he deliver his lines in the manner of a story teller utilizing the cadence of blank verse. For once I could remember the Epic from beginning to end instead of scratching my head trying to remember what I had read a few pages ago. The piece itself is faithful to the story and the delivery was poetic in the way a bard might have presented his version of an ancient epic to a live audience in a language that had not been dead for thousands of years. One further note, it's always great when a male performer doesn't use a falsetto when delivering words spoken by a female character especially when the character was not a human.

A story meant to be delivered by a story teller

Listening to Lockwood retell this story is such a pleasure — he captures what I imagine must have been the song-like vocal patterns of ancient storytellers in the oral traditions that preceded written literary texts. His work is a gift to listeners and to the tradition itself.

Beautiful retelling

Lockwood tries to show his enthusiasm in his voice’s enthusiasm. It doesn’t come off that way though. It did make it hard to be interested in the story. Even as someone who is very intrigued by the writing.

Good story, less than great reading

Would you listen to The Epic of Gilgamesh again? Why?

it has the origin of Noah flood mythology , it is an amazing piece of human oral history that turned into one of the first written history pieces by one of the first human writings and the root of so many beliefs that are shared in the middle eastern religions
