Shamhats Liebhaber – Die wahre Geschichte von Gilgamesch

In this 2022 graphic novel from Reprodukt, Charles Berberian reimagines the ancient Epic of Gilgamesh from a fresh, intimate perspective centered on the temple priestess Shamhat. Rather than a straightforward adaptation, Berberian crafts a reflective, humanizing portrait that explores the untold emotional and personal dimensions of her pivotal role in the story. The single-issue work stands as a thoughtful, standalone contribution to modern interpretations of Mesopotamian mythology.
