Etana the Snake and the Eagle

This is an ancient tale of friendship and betrayal. The mythical ancient Sumerian king, Etana, enters into the tale as an arbiter between the enemies as well as a character with his own motives and goals. Etana is searching for a medicinal herb for his wife in order to allow her to have children. This is a modern retelling taken from book 3 of the Novels of Ancient Sumeria, The Prince and the Prophet, by Jesse Hudson
