Hesiod, Theogony – Offers insights into Greek mythology, specifically the origins and roles of the gods, which could be useful for comparative analysis of how deities interact with humanity.
Atrahasis – is another Mesopotamian epic about gods and humans. It particularly focuses on themes of creation, divine will, and human suffering. This epic could help draw parallels or contrasts with the worldview in “The Epic of Gilgamesh.”
Genesis 1-9 – Provides a biblical perspective on human-divine relationships, particularly regarding themes of punishment, mortality, and divine will, which might be used for comparative analysis.
Homeric Hymns – These are to various Greek deities and might offer comparative insights into the divine-human interactions and the role of fate and divine judgment.
