The Epic of Gilgamesh

The Epic of Gilgamesh

The Epic of Gilgamesh is the world’s oldest known epic, composed in ancient Mesopotamia and preserved on clay tablets in cuneiform script. The narrative follows Gilgamesh, the semi-divine king of Uruk, as he forges an unlikely friendship with the wild man Enkidu, defeats formidable foes like Humbaba and the Bull of Heaven, and mourns the death of his friend. Driven by grief and fear of mortality, Gilgamesh embarks on a perilous journey in search of the secret to eternal life, encountering Utnapishtim, the survivor of a great flood. This epic explores universal themes of friendship, heroism, loss, and the search for meaning—echoing across millennia as a profound testament to the human spirit.
