A very small schedule change from the syllabus: I want to read Tablet I for Friday's class, so we can slowly inch our way into this great epic poem. There are no questions on the blog to answer; just read it and we'll analyze it closely in class on Friday.
If you have a different edition than the Penguin version, read the first 300 lines of the poem, or to the point where Enkidu sleeps with the goddess and becomes 'human.' It's only the first 5 or 6 pages of our book.
If you don't have a copy of the book yet, please do! Check the library or at worse, look for complete texts on-line. But you will need a hard copy (or an Kindle version) to bring to class before long.
See you in class!
