What happens when a former editor of New Scientist turns her gaze from cutting-edge science to the ancient myths of the world’s first civilization? In this episode, we sit down with Emily H. Wilson, author of the lyrical and gripping Sumerian Trilogy—a retelling of the Epic of Gilgamesh, the descent of Inanna, and the cosmic clash of gods and mortals.

Inana, Gilgamesh and Ninshubar are available from all good bookshops (and evil ones like Amazon too).
