Question

Продовж. Епос про Гільгамеша належить до епохи… Виберіть одну відповідь: Просвітництва стародавньої літератури Відродження літератури постмодернізму

Answer 1

The epic of Gilgamesh belongs to the era of ancient literature, specifically to the Mesopotamian literature of the third millennium BCE. It predates the periods you mentioned in your question, such as the Enlightenment (Pросвітництва), the Renaissance (Відродження літератури), and postmodernism (постмодернізм).

The Epic of Gilgamesh is often considered one of the earliest known works of literature and originates from ancient Mesopotamia, which is the region that encompasses present-day Iraq, parts of Iran, Syria, and Turkey. It was composed in cuneiform script on clay tablets and tells the story of Gilgamesh, a historical figure who was the king of Uruk, and his epic adventures, including his quest for immortality. The epic provides insights into the culture, beliefs, and values of ancient Mesopotamia.

To provide you with a formal response with citations, I must emphasize that the Epic of Gilgamesh predates the Enlightenment, Renaissance, and postmodernism by thousands of years. Therefore, it cannot be categorized within any of these literary epochs. Instead, it is a foundational work in the history of literature, offering valuable insights into the ancient world.
