Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The story of a legendary king who ruled before a mythic flood that frightened even the gods is the Epic of Gilgamesh. This epic was created by the Sumerians and is considered one of the earliest surviving works of literature. The Torah, Bible, and Old Testament are all religious texts, and while they may contain myths and legends, they do not have the same connection to Sumerian culture and mythology as the Epic of Gilgamesh.
