There's Nothing Like a Schlüsselszene
The latest Journal of Near Eastern Studies is out. In addition to the usual numerous review articles, it contains two papers. For me, the most interesting is Jan Keetman, "Der Kampf im Haustor. Eine der Schlüsselszenen zum Verständnis des Gilgameš-Epos." I always enjoy a Schlüsselszene particularly when it involves fighting over who has first dibs on new brides. I'm guessing it is this scene from Gilgamesh Tablet II that Keetman discusses.
Since I don't have free direct access to here at home, I'd better stop guessing and get myself to the library.
