Description
The Revenge of Ishtar is the second volume in a trilogy that explores the ancient Mesopotamian legend of Gilgamesh. In this story, Gilgamesh and his friend Enkidu embark on a perilous quest to defeat a fearsome monster that has been terrorising their city. Their bravery is rewarded, but also attracts the attention of the goddess Ishtar, who seeks revenge against Gilgamesh.
The consequences of Ishtar's wrath are dire, and Gilgamesh is forced to confront the ultimate monster: death itself. This gripping tale of friendship, loss, and the human condition is a fascinating glimpse into the mythology of ancient Mesopotamia.
