RE: Lectures On The Epic Of Gilgamesh
I get it that it is one of the oldest book written but... I hated it so much that I could not even finish it. If only every sentence was not repeated 3 times...

There are endless repetitions of this epic in various layers. Maybe that repetition is just another clue. The second lecture talks a little about how they use repetitions in the variations of the whole story to translate this stuff. Letters from the past about how to become a prisoner of civilization. Today we call it jungle book & Tarzan.
