The Epic Gilgamesh

 The foundations of the earth were laid bare by the Gods who, in their anger, destroyed the people of the Earth. Afterwards, mankind was created anew, with a King created by the gods to lead them. That King is Gilgamesh. His kingdom is Uruk. Possessed of superhuman strength and great genius, none are superior to him. And none can refuse him.

In the ancient city of Uruk, the tyrannical King Gilgamesh tramples citizens “like a wild bull.” The gods send an untamed man named Enkidu to control the ruthless King, but after fighting, Enkidu and Gilgamesh become great friends and embark on a series of adventures. They kill fearsome creatures before Enkidu dies, leaving Gilgamesh despondent and alone. Disturbed by the death of Enkidu, Gilgamesh journeys to find the secret of immortality – but a soul-searching journey of startling self-discovery lies in wait for him.
