Siduri
Sinopsis
La mitología clásica de Europa ha sido recreada infinitas veces en poemas, cuentos, obras de teatro, cuadros, esculturas… Ninguna de las artes ha dejado de sentir su influjo. Y otro tanto podría decirse de los relatos bíblicos, inagotables en sus temas. En cambio, las fuentes mesopotámicas de las que bebieron ambas tradiciones han quedado en su mayor parte inexploradas. Todos sabemos quiénes son Zeus, Venus, Hércules o Noé. Pero ¿y Enlil, Inanna, Enkidú o Utanapíshtim? Antes de la aparición de la Ilíada y la Odisea, el héroe más conocido en el Medio Oriente era Gilgamesh, y sus aventuras se recitaban en lenguas tan dispares como el sumerio, el acadio y el hitita. Los poemas que hablan sobre este héroe se cuentan entre los más antiguos que nos ha sido dado conocer, pues fueron registrados nada más aparecer la escritura.
En este libro, Segovia recrea la Epopeya de Gilgamesh presentándola como el relato que alguien (quizás el poeta) escucha de boca de Siduri, la tabernera, última persona con quien el héroe habla antes de cruzar las aguas de la muerte. Pero ella conoce también lo que fue del rey de Uruk después de su viaje al mundo de los muertos y su encuentro con Utanapíshtim “el Lejano” (el Noé babilonio). Poema de aventuras y, a la vez, reflexión sobre la condición humana, la versión de Segovia sigue de cerca la epopeya antigua, a la que sin embargo da una interpretación moderna.
Los dibujos de Marcos Límenes no pretenden ilustrar el relato de Siduri, sino recrear el ambiente en que ocurre, permitiendo que el día –a lo largo de 24 horas– invada de luz y sombra la intimidad de la conversación.
