have two different styles of text, one with a Hebrew scriptural text and one is an ancient Mesopotamian epic. That’s just the start of the comparisons of these two tales. “Noah and the Flood” is a unique story because it uses a Hebrew style of text. The story is still used religiously across the world, and I think something is to be said about that. One thing that this story includes that the Epic of Gilgamesh does not, is the inclusion of animals. Noah brings along one type of each animal that…

“The monster’s hatred rose higher, but his power had gone, He twisted in pain, and the bleeding sinews deep in his shoulder snapped, muscle and bone split and broke. The battle was over, Beowulf had been granted a new glory.” Have you ever heard of a epic hero who slaughtered a monster, its’ mother, and a dragon? Or have you heard of that same hero killing the monster, rather bearing a child with its’ mother, which was a dragon? Apparently, this specific tale comes from both a textbook and a…

After reading the excerpts from The Epic of Gilgamesh, I feel that Gilgamesh is such a charming and respected hero for his wise, courage, persistence. In my view, in the ancient, Mesopotamians believed that the most gods were perfect both physically and mentally surpassing all others. Nevertheless, there were some gods, who were not perfect at all. For example, Ishtar, the goodness of love, was fickle in matter of love. She tried to kill Gilgamesh after her proposes was refused. Meanwhile,…

Legendary, Beowulf, survived through most of it all. Fights were upon him, sometimes without announcement. He demolished many, an almighty. His power was undeniable that many dreaded. Beowulf was a factual representation of an epitome heroic figure, for he was devoted, zealous, and exert. Devotion to his own kind, to his king, “Anything I can do, here on this earth to earn your love, oh great king, anything more than I have done, battles I can fight in your honor, summon me, I will come as I…

repeat itself. Though at times this path is dangerous and comes with a hefty price, the outcome is always well worth it. The ongoing challenges and obstacles the hero goes through will define him as him as a person as he continues his quest. In the epic of Beowulf a great warrior, with a reputation to dominate anything that is in his way, decides to help the King Hrothgar with his problem. While doing the King’s favor he encounters several worthy foes that could kill any lesser man. These…

Noelle Breaux Mrs Hebert English IV- 1 Hour 18 September 2016 Beowulf or Achilles? Beowulf and The Iliad are to great stories told by thousands of people, but many people debate on who is the greater hero. I think that Beowulf is the better modern day hero because he does not let his pride get the best of him. Beowulf is about a young man that fights many monsters that soon he becomes king, Beowulf is translated by Burton Raffel. The Iliad is about a man named Achilles who kills on a count…

The Epic of Gilgamesh causes an emotional breakdown for me. The bond that Gilgamesh and Enkidu became very strong and would've been a lifelong friendship. I can relate the epic to the death of my friend Aziz we were very close and bought out the best in each other and although we fought we had an unbreakable bond. Sadly he died and unlike GIlgamesh looking for immortality me losing Aziz made me realize how short life is and that it should not be taken for granted. Realizing how short life is…

The Bible is the religious book with an unbelievable history. In the very beginning many people were not able to read the bible because it was not written in their language. The Bible is split up in the Old Testimony and the New Testimony. It was until King James that the Bible was translated to English. It took 52 scholars and several days until they were and to translate the entire text. In our textbooks we are presented with 4 excerpts on this translated version. The 1611 King James Version…

huge, strong people that help you when you are in need. The epic poem Beowulf describes an Anglo-Saxon hero with all of the qualities that a true hero has: strength, courage and determination.

The poem reveals to us the wonders of human imagination such as heros, monsters, epic battles and it helps us explore the human values of…
