Absolutely abysmal narration.

She has zero emotion, and honestly I thought she was an 'auto-reader' but... Turns out, she's just bad.

Not the best reading of a classic text.

It's a great story, but the reading is a bit robotic. It's short though, so it's forgivable. Good for a short car ride.

Narration sounds off

This sounds like it was narrated by a text to audio program. Very AI-ish

The Babylonian epic of creation. How Tiamat was slain and the earth was created and Marduk gained supremacy.

Babylonian epic about how Marduk gained supremacy over all the other gods by defeating Tiamat. After Tiamat was slain her body was used to create the earth. The creation of humanity was an afterthought in this story. A few times the story was somewhat repetitive but overall it is short and to the point. The Babylonians main God was Marduk so no surprise in this epic it explains how he gained preeminence.

Old english...

it would be much better to have a modern English translation . Why not just leave it in the original language since Elizabethian English needs to be translated for modern people
