I should go read up on the Epic of Gilgamesh at some point. Never formally studied it on school, and I'd like to have more than a vague passing familiarity with the characters & plot/adventures/what happens. Best I got is recognizing a handful of names because they're connected in pop culture referencing the Epic

#isa babble #i could probably say the same about arthurian legend #tho i have a more solid foundation on that #there's gotta be some other international classics? famous stories like that i need to read up on #i know theres a Ton of western classics that i dodged or just didnt encounter in school #a good chunk that i know by title alone #a handful i have a vague idea of the plot of #still have no fucking clue what War And Peace is about #I've been rewatching Bungo Stray Dogs and the Fate series #so authors and stories they draw characters from are all over rn #Fate Grand Order reminded me since Enkidu appeared and i went wait i dont know shit about him other than hes from the Epic of Gilgamesh #i *also* wanna go refind that one Journey to the West show adaptation i found on netflix ages ago #and/or a western accessible version of the story with cultural footnotes maybe #ik osp is has their thing but it's not the complete story yet i dont think #need to double check
