The Joys of Divine Incest - Sexy Sexual Metaphor in Mesopotamia - Episode 7

In the seventh of the series, Megan reads the literary composition 'Enki and Ninhursag'. This is a fascinating composition that involves more than the usual amount of divine incest. The next video in this series focuses on Leick's analysis of this myth, so to aid comprehension we're reading it first :) This series uses the excellent book 'Sex and Eroticism in Mesopotamian Literature' by Gwendolyn Leick.
