Abstract
The author of this paper tries to relate the several versions of the famous Flood myth, starting from Ovid´s story (Metam. I, 253-312). If we read carefully the Latin story as well as the Greek version, we can verify that this myth cannot be independent of the Flood story that we know from Sumerian, Akkadian and Hebrew sources, especially from Atramhasis, the eleventh tablet of the Gilgamesh epic and the Old Testament. This will become clear if we compare them point by point.Downloads
