“Flood.”
Both the Epic of Gilgamesh and the book of Genesis in the Old Testament contain a story of a
major flood and both stories have a male hero that survives the flood, Utnapisthtim and Noah,
23
respectively. Utnapishtim, however, entered "the company of the gods" and came to have
everlasting life after he survived the flood. Noah lived to an old age, but his religious tradition
allows only one everlasting divinity.
In Utnapishtim's flood story, the gods decide to wipe out the human race because they are too
noisy; in Genesis, God decides to destroy humans because of their wickedness.
Both Utnapishtim and Noah are advised by their respective gods to build a boat before the flood
comes and they also take their families and have animals aboard the boat with them.
Utnapishtim's rains only last for six days and six nights, whereas Noah's last for 40 days and
40 nights.

appeared. Utnapishtim releases three different birds (dove, swallow, raven), while Noah releases
