Read the following passage from the Epic of Gilgamesh. What is the central idea of the text? You know the city Shurrupak, it stands on the banks of Euphrates? That city grew old and the gods that were in it were old. There was Anu, lord of the firmament, their father, and warrior Enlil their counsellor, Ninurta the helper, and Ennugi watcher over canals; and with them also was Ea. In those days the world teemed, the people multiplied, the world bellowed like a wild bull, and the great god was aroused by the clamour. Enlil heard the clamour and he said to the gods in council, 'The uproar of mankind is intolerable and sleep is no longer possible by reason of the babel.' The Epic of Gilgamesh

Respuesta :

The central idea is about the Great God Enlil, who is tired of humanity and his great clamor, especially in the city of Shuruppak, because he tells the other gods that he could not sleep, by the great uproar of humans . This, knowing that the Sumerian god Enlil decides to provoke the great universal flood to destroy humanity, would be one of the causes of the god's decision. Thus we can see that as the gods grow old, mankind multiply without control (apparently) that makes Enlil angry and overwhelmed. This story would be told to Gilgamesh by of the text, the human who could escape the flood (an ancient Noe) and who was warned by the god Enki.
