About this episode

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour !

Hercule, Jason, Ulysse, Achille, Persée, Roland, Arthur, Merlin, Jeanne d’Arc et Mulan : on en a vu des héros et héroïnes historiques, semi-légendaires voire carrément mythologiques ! Mais si je vous disais qu’il existe une histoire écrite, pas orale, et pourtant tellement ancienne qu’elle fait passer l'Iliade, l’Odyssée et même la Bible pour des textes récents ? Une aventure qui a marqué la pensée de toute la Mésopotamie antique pendant environ 2 millénaires ! Et c’est pas rien, puisqu’il s’agit de l'Épopée de Gilgameš, peut-être l’un des héros les plus badass et impressionnants de la mythologie, capable de défier même les dieux !

Bonne écoute !
