Mythology

In class, recently, it was suggested that the reason for the flood in the Epic of Gilgamesh seemed more trivial than in the book of Genesis, implying that the gods in the earlier work were less just than the God of the Old Testament.

Does “justice” guide divine actions and immortal involvement in mortals’ lives any more or less in the polytheistic works we’ve read this semester than in the one monotheistic text we’ve been reading from?
