Carefully define “myth”. Develop this definition by discussing the sort of topics found in myths, possible motives for telling and how these differ from fables or legends. Then compare and contrast the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Genesis Flood Story analyzing at least three important similarities and differences between them. Considering that the flood story of Genesis seems to be a retelling of the earlier Gilgamesh, do you detect any changes in values or attitudes of life between the peoples? Overall what is the value of any mythology today, especially for a student of history?
