Benjamin R. Foster's anthology (3rd edition, 2005; CDL Press) is the standard comprehensive English translation of the Akkadian literary corpus, including the Atra-ḫasīs Epic, the Standard Babylonian Gilgamesh, the Enūma Eliš, the Descent of Ishtar, the Babylonian theodicies, and the broader courtly, wisdom, and ritual literature. Foster's Tablet XI translation of the Gilgamesh flood narrative is the principal scholarly access point for the Mesopotamian flood traditions that parallel Genesis 6–9 and the broader antediluvian material.
