He was a cruel king who lorded over his subjects and raped any woman who struck his fancy. The people cried out to the gods for help. In response to their plea, the gods created Enkidu, a wild man as formidable as Gilgamesh to rescue the people from further oppression. Soon after their first battle, Gilgamesh and Enkidu became friends. Together, they journeyed to the Cedar Mountain and killed Humbaba, an ogre who was guardian of the cedar forests. Later, they killed the Bull of Heaven that was sent by the goddess Ishtar to punish Gilgamesh for spurning her advances. As a punishment for their transgressions, somebody had to die and the gods decided that it should be Enkidu. Gilgamesh was heartbroken at the death of his best friend and started brooding about the prospect of death. After a harrowing and perilous journey to discover the secret of eternal life, he managed to obtain a youth-renewing plant and intended to test it on the elders back in Uruk. However, a serpent stole the plant and Gilgamesh returned empty-handed. Upon seeing his city, Gilgamesh was finally reconciled with his mortality. He realized that his greatest legacy would be a city well ruled. Man cannot live forever but humankind will live on. A land between the Tigris and Euphrates river, Mesopotamia is known as the “land of rivers”. Mesopotamia has been widely considered to be the cradle of civilization which produced Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian and Assyrian empires. “The Epic of Gilgamesh” is the oldest written story on Earth and perhaps the most noted literary product of Babylonia. It was written on twelve tablets as Sumerian poems and subsequently pieced together and translated into the story as we know it. In The Epic of Gilgamesh, we see the perspectives of Mesopotamians towards natural law, death and attitudes towards the gods of their time. Also, the universal themes of love and friendship, mortality and the journey of life in the story are still as relevant for today’s times.
