Gilgamesh(:


The adventure with Gilgamesh & Enkidu was one of the stories that kept repeating for centuries. The story began like this, Gilgamesh ruled the city of Uruk(the flat plain Mesopotamia near the river of Euphrates). Enkidu
was a friend of Gilgamesh. All the people from the city heard the story of the demon Humbaba who guarded the cedar forest. This monster roar was like the sound of a "flood", his mouth was like ''fire'',and his breath was like ''death''.But that didn't stop Gilgamesh & Enkidu from meeting the monster face to face. So they went for there journey to meet Humbaba. As Gilgamesh & Enkidu arrived to the forrest they got with Humababa. So then Gilgamesh & Enikidu Fought and cut off the monsters head, they took trees and cut it into logs. And so then Gilgamesh & Enkidu tale was told ever since then.

The Message from the story explained that they had faith & hope. It showed that the both friends had faith to face up Humbaba and bring back cedar logs back to there city of Uruk. They also took hope in the stoy of Gilgamesh because they never lost hope nor they werent afraid because they were strong. The best part of this story is that they both had teamwork to show effort to there city. So this is what I thought the message was about.


I would like to predit that Gilgamesh was a hero. I think that what he did with Enkidu it brought up to being a hero. Killing And faceing the monster that made them a hero as well. He was also known as a good king to rule the city of Uruk. This made himself a hero for being a stronger king. So this are the reasons why I think Gilgamesh is a hero.
