The Epic of Gilgamesh is a myth from the Mesopotamian culture about a man who was 2/3 god and 1/3 man. He though he was the strongest person in the world and could not be beat, until he met his match Enkidu. Enkidu and Gilgamesh became close friends. After Enkidu's death, Gilgamesh never wanted to face death and the unknown afterlife. So The Epic of Gilgamesh is about Gilgamesh's quest to find immortality.
