This video focuses on floods in the ancient Near East. You have heard the story of Noah and the Ark from the Bible, but that is not the only deluge story humans tell. It's a common thing across cultures. You could say the study of mythology is flooded with them. We'll be looking at floods from Mesopotamia from the Epic of Gilgamesh, and a flood story from the Zoroastrian tradition. And we'll look at a Roman flood story from Ovid's metamorphosis. [11:45]
