What Is The Epic Of Gilgamesh Epic
The epic of Gilgamesh. Before Enkidu's death, he was created by the gods to compete against Gilgamesh and his tyranny. In his formation, Enkidu lived in a state of savagery with animals, but was then brought to the temple by the prostitute and was "civilized." I believe that he went from a god-like state to becoming a mortal man.
A portion of the epic was about the hero, Gilgamesh, trying to gain immortality after his dear friend Enkidu died. We were told in the beginning about how "wise" Gilgamesh was: "Was wise in all matters..." However, in his quest for immortality, he is told secrets by Utanapishtim, a man granted immortality, that pushes him to find the secrets, fail, and eventually realize and accept the fact that he'd have to die
