May I ask how you chose that edition of Gilgamesh?
During the pre-vaccine pandemic, I spent a lot of time (and got a lot of perspective) reading ancient epics in reverse chronological order: The Aeneid, then The Odyssey followed by The Iliad.
It makes sense that I'd tackle Gilgamesh next (or the Old Testament!)
Someone recommended it. It's meant to be read. The notes show all the work, but you can read it without breaking for "this line is lost so we made shit up"
