SUMMARY:Language and Deception in the Gilgamesh Flood Story
DTSTART:20171107T230000Z
DTEND:20171108T010000Z
DESCRIPTION:The Flood story in the eleventh Tablet of Gilgamesh includ
 es a mysterious message from the god Ea\, featuring a rain of cakes an
 d wheat. Since 1890 scholars have suspected some deliberate ambiguity
  (a forecast of the Flood disguised as a message about something else)
 \, and while the different proposals for how this may work make for a 
 fascinating case study in the history of Akkadian philology\, none of 
 them quite work. A new solution is offered in this paper\, and its br
 oader implications are explored.
