04.08 - Babylonian Values and Gilgamesh

We started class today by reviewing what we knew about Babylonian values from their creation story the Enuma Elish (see notes below). Then, everyone had about 20 minutes to respond to some discussion questions based on the first half of the Gilgamesh story (see handout below, we worked with the front sheet only today).
