Description:

With text from Prof. Kent H. Dixon's rendition, and artwork by his son, Kevin, Gilgamesh is an accurate retelling of the oldest story known to mankind. Scholars and casual readers alike will not be able to find a more enjoyable, yet true to the source version of the epic. The Dixon's capture much of the humor and detail that is missed or bowlderized in other translations. The text is lyrical and rich and the illustrations are vivid and packed with detail.
