Enkidu

Thus becoming known as the “first lady of civil rights” and a role model to all. Rather than Gilgamesh, who showed no qualities of a hero, he showed no courage of his own, but rather courage of Enkidu which did lead to heroic deeds, but deeds that were done not for the good of the people but for Gilgamesh’s pride and the need to show his strength. As seen from Gilgamesh’s actions and behavior, he is not seen as a role model and his people don’t…

The Epic of Gilgamesh is a riveting tale of friendship, strife, and heroism. It follows Gilgamesh, along with his comrade Enkidu, on his journey to becoming immortal. While there are many things about this tale that would classify it as an epic, there are also quite a few elements in the storytelling that are more than often used in the dramatic genre of tragedy.

We never expect to find similarities between ancient epics and the lessons we’re taught initially through religion. Religions and beliefs are so complex in their individuality that it shocks others when we learn that two pantheons share the same tale. The ‘Epic of Gilgamesh’ is the oldest poem known to man. Written in 2100 B.C.E and carved into 12 tablets, ‘Gilgamesh’, is one of most beautiful epics of all time. What is astounding is that there are several stories that the Bible and Gilgamesh…

Strong independent women are everywhere nowadays. Disney movies don’t provide a male romantic interest for their leading ladies anymore, women are fighting for equal pay, and movements are happening throughout the country providing females with a voice.

story of Finding Nemo and The Epic of Gilgamesh prove to be more alike than one might originally ponder. The Epic of Gilgamesh is a 4000-year-old epic poem about the king of Uruk, named Gilgamesh, who meets a companion that matches his strength named Enkidu. Meanwhile, Finding Nemo is a story about two clownfish named Marlin and Nemo, father and son, who get separated on Nemo’s first day of school, when Nemo gets taken away by a fisherman. --Good thesis here-- The first step in the journey of…

I am going to show you how the Odyssey and the Epic of Gilgamesh similar. Both of the stories possess multiple similarities like the character's conflict, goal, consequences of their actions, and their relationship with their family and city. They share a common theme which is temptation. Odysseus never gave up on his family and land.
