The creation stories in Mesopotamian myths exhibit intriguing similarities and differences. Primarily, the Enuma Elish describes the creation of the world from primordial chaos through a series of divine conflicts, while the Epic of Gilgamesh offers insights into human experience and the quest for immortality. Both myths emphasize the role of deities in formation and ongoing management of the universe. However, the tone and focus differ; Enuma Elish highlights power dynamics among gods, while Gilgamesh emphasizes human qualities, exploring themes of friendship and existential questions. Together, they reflect Mesopotamian beliefs about creation and purpose.
