Enkidu: Gilgamesh’s Double Who was Gilgamesh, really? While he may have been known to build Uruk and knew the most of all men know, his real character was not always like that. This is where Enkidu comes in. Enkidu, made to be Gilgamesh’s “double” (Gilg., p.5), pulls out the hero in Gilgamesh and leads him on the path to becoming a hero. Enkidu was the example of the hero Gilgamesh was to become and therefore acted as Gilgamesh’s double in that he represents Gilgamesh’s final state. To get…

In the beginning of Epic of Gilgamesh, the narrator introduces the main character Gilgamesh, who is the king of a sacred city called Uruk.

Hallmark 's Cedar Cove will always hold a distinctive place in my heart for a variety of reasons, and I will admit that Teryl Rothery is one of them. I was introduced to this exquisite actress through that show, and I can still remember sitting there in my chair watching her portrayal of Grace. I so identified with her character, and once I began to research Teryl 's career, I was awestruck with her versatility and extensive range of her abilities that she has had the opportunity to demonstrate…

The two cultures I chose to compare heroic values for are the ancient stories of Gilgamesh and Beowulf. Although they possess many similar heroic characteristics they also differ greatly. Beowulf is often referred to as the first important work of literature in English, even though it was written in Old English. The world that Beowulf depicts and the heroic code of honor that defines much of the story is a relic of pre–Anglo-Saxon culture. The hero of The Epic of Gilgamesh was an actual…

The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the oldest pieces of literature that chronicles the journey of a young king of ancient Uruk, which was a city-state in Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, and is presently known today as Iraq.

Gilgamesh, who was created by the gods, was two-thirds god and one-third man. This…

When they return, Ishtar pleads for Gilgamesh to be her husband but Gilgamesh refuses. Enkidu then has a dream that states, “[b]ecause they they slew the Bull of Heaven, and slew Humbaba that [guarded] the mountains dense – [wooded] with cedar, … between these two [let one of them die] (Gilgamesh 55). The gods were displeased with Enkidu and Gilgamesh for killing…

Strathdee et al. identified that a history of sexual abuse can put an individual at higher risk of needle borrowing (1997). The Cedar Project expands on this, as their primary objective was to determine factors associated with sexual abuse among participants of this study through a lens of historical and intergenerational trauma.
