About this listen

The world’s first epic—fully restored for the modern listener.

Before Homer. Before the Bible. There was Gilgamesh.

This groundbreaking 2025 edition presents the most complete and seamless version of The Epic of Gilgamesh ever published in English. Meticulously reconstructed and translated from the Standard Babylonian tablets—along with integrated Sumerian and Old Babylonian variants—it delivers the full poetic journey of Gilgamesh and Enkidu with clarity, emotional power, and mythic resonance.

Whether you are a lover of ancient literature, a student of mythology, or simply a curious reader, this edition is designed to captivate and enlighten.

This reader-friendly edition features:

• All 12 tablets in complete, literary verse

• Reconstructed gaps and variant lines clearly marked

• A helpful glossary of names and places

Join Gilgamesh on his timeless quest for immortality—from his tyrannical youth to the death of Enkidu, the Cedar Forest battle, the Flood story, and the secret of the Plant of Life. Ancient wisdom, existential longing, and heroic poetry converge in this powerful literary journey.
