has anyone read the epic? Is it worth it? Can't really think

Well, I read a modernization. It's very interesting from an anthropological perspective. Gilgamesh being the equivalent to a teenager, the comparisons you can draw between him an jesus, etc, etc.

It's also a very cool story by itself.

Yeah, the story is good and it's a short read, I'd definately go for it.
