About the Epic:
The Epic of Gilgamesh is an epic poem from ancient Mesopotamia. The epic is regarded as foundational work in religion and the tradition of heroic sagas, with Gilgamesh forming the prototype for later heroes like Heracles (Hercules), and the epic itself serving as an influence for Homeric epics.
