5. Tablet 11 is remarkable for its similarities to Genesis (more later): a flood caused by gods, a man selected (Utnapishtim) to build a boat and gather "living beings" (Tablet 11, lines 7 -90). There are some differences to Genesis: the gods weep and retreat because they apparently fear the more powerful gods (like Anu). I know this passage can be confusing, in part because of all the gods and in part because Utnapishtim is telling his story to Gilgamesh, and within the story he tells others are quoted.

Question: Who speaks and shrieks and claims that "The olden days have turned to clay / because I said evil things in the Assembly of the Gods!" See lines 111-121 in Volume A of the 3 volume anthology and lines 115 -125 in Volume 1 of Gateways. The translations are a bit different.

6. In the definition of hero I gave you, we know about the tragic flaw. In Tablet 11, after an argument between the gods about the destruction of man and the survival of Utnapishtim who is then made immortal because the command comes that mankind should never die again by flood (watch for this in Genesis). Utnapishtim assigns Gilgamesh a task or test. What is it, and does Gilgamesh pass or fail? You may quote for support.

7. Where does Gilgamesh go after he loses the secret plant? You may want to review Tablet 1.
