Description
An amazing epic entailing the life of Gilgamesh, a king by birthright who is two-thirds divine, as he encounters his only equal. Together with the wild man, Enkidu, Gilgamesh wrestles with the bull of heaven and takes on the guardian of a divine forest. This tale depicts an all-but-immortal man as he fights against the control of his gods and struggles with the inevitability of his eventual demise.
Language
Translated from the Akkadian.
