The Flood of Gilgamesh was composed before 2000 B.C, while the Genesis story was composed in 400 BC, which was much later then the Gilgamesh surge. Scriptural authors presumably knew of the much more established surge yet amended it so it fit with their own history and perspective. They in all probability expected the first story with their own mythology. In spite of the numerous similitudes between the two stories, the distinctions are uncovered in various diverse subjects that recognize the…

I attended the play “Three gods walk into a bar” at the Crowder College Theatre on Thursday, October 20th, 2016. I have not watched a play for at least 4 years and have to say it was one of the best plays I have ever been to in my life!

Over the summer I read Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods by Rick Riordan. The book was written from the perspective of a teenage boy, but still accurately tells the stories of the Greek gods. The particular story that interested me was “The Olympians Bash Some Heads”. This story told how the Greek gods became supreme over the Titans. Riordan used the Greek myths as a guideline for the story. In his work, he resolved many difficulties, including: freeing the gods, fulfilling the prophecy of Ouranos,…
