SE01EP03: The Great Flood Across Civilizations

In this episode of Drinking In The Duat, host M. Dylan Blair delves into the universal theme of the Great Flood, exploring its profound presence across global mythologies. From the Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh and the biblical tale of Noah to the flood myths of India, China, Indigenous Americas, Africa, Polynesia, and Scandinavia, Blair uncovers shared motifs of divine warning, survival, renewal, and humanity's resilience in the face of overwhelming chaos. With insights into Carl Jung’s archetypes, historical ties to natural disasters, and reflections on modern parallels like climate change, this episode invites listeners to consider the enduring power of flood myths as both cultural memory and a call to adapt, innovate, and preserve what matters most in times of upheaval.
