What is the title of the Mesopotamian flood myth featuring Atrahasis?

The Mesopotamian flood myth featuring Atrahasis is called the Atrahasis Epic.

The Atrahasis Epic is an Akkadian literary work known from cuneiform tablets. Its surviving versions tell how the gods decide to reduce humanity through a devastating flood, while the god Enki warns Atrahasis and helps him survive. Atrahasis builds a boat and preserves life, making the work an important early parallel to later flood traditions.

The epic is especially valuable because it predates the standard Babylonian version of the Epic of Gilgamesh and preserves a detailed Mesopotamian flood account. Its plot differs from Genesis in its divine council, reasons for the flood, and aftermath, even though the broad survival-by-boat structure is similar.

Atrahasis is also the name of the central human figure, while “Atrahasis Epic” identifies the work itself. The title is sometimes written “Atra-Hasis” or “Atrahasis,” reflecting different transliteration conventions for the Akkadian name.
