Synopsis
Hasisadra's Adventure by Thomas Henry Huxley is a brief but profound exploration of the ancient Babylonian flood myth, particularly as it is found in the Epic of Gilgamesh. Huxley, a renowned biologist and advocate for evolutionary theory, uses this narrative to engage with the broader conversation around ancient mythology, religious stories, and scientific understanding. The story of Hasisadra, also known as Utnapishtim, is the Babylonian counterpart to the biblical Noah, having survived a great flood sent by the gods. Huxley reflects on the similarities between this myth and the biblical flood story, emphasizing the universality of flood myths across cultures. He uses Hasisadra's Adventure as a platform to discuss the intersection of myth and history, questioning the literal interpretations of religious texts while acknowledging the symbolic and moral significance these stories hold for humanity.
