The Revenge of Ishtar retold and illustrated by Ludmila Zeman*

Gilgamesh's story is continued as he and Enkidu battle against Humbaba and a bull sent by Ishtar.  The mighty Gilgamesh finds a foe he cannot defeat . . .death.
The ending is very sad.
I love the end pages which depict the Senet game board (a very old game which Gilgamesh and Enkidu are playing in the beginning of the story.
