Saw it. Rolled eyes. shaiel Send a noteboard - 08/01/2011 07:27:56 PM
Some of Sanderson's names were COMPLETELY off-the-wall.

Rand is Gilgamesh! Now he appreciates mortality, morality, alliteration, cuneiform, and the sacral privilege that is leadership!

Lanfear is Ishtar! Scorned women, go!

Perrin is Enkidu! Very hairy.

LTT is Bilgames. ;) (HAHAHA.)

Yep.

Two months after publication and I have yet to see any of you "theorize" over this passage:

"It's always been a city of importance, you know," Rand said from beside Min, his eyes distant. "The Guardians are newer, but the city was here long ago. Aren Deshar, Aren Mador, Far Madding. Always a thorn in our side, Aren Deshar was. The enclave of the Incastar - those afraid of progress, afraid of wonder. Turns out they had a right to be afraid. How I wish I had listened to Gilgame..." (p. 748)


Where are the speculations as to what role the Dragon plays in the Epic of Gilgamesh? C'mon, people! Speculate! It's what you do best around here, right? :P
