That's because it has been written and rewritten for political reasons over the centuries. And it's origins are most probably campfire tales, taking in myths from other regional cults as well as an attempt at law making for an otherwise lawless society.

That's why I compared it to the Illiad. You can still learn something from it. If nothing else, you can observe, how the people in this region built their society. Doesn't look friendly, but hardly any society in the bronze age did.
