Like Mayflies in a Stream: A Feminist Retelling of the Epic of Gilgamesh (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781938125546)

No one in Uruk dares to oppose the tyrant Gilgamesh. So the priestess Shamhat must leave her duties and go into the wilderness with the trapper Zaidu. Their mission: To find-and tame-Enkidu, a wild man who roams with the gazelles. Once they find him, however, Shamhat conceives a bold plan. She will use the wild man against Gilgamesh, and perhaps Uruk will finally have the king it deserves.

Like Mayflies in a Stream retells the exciting ancient legend of Gilgamesh from the viewpoint of Shamhat and other people of Uruk.
