What is the Epic of Gilgamesh?

The Epic of Gilgamesh is an epic poem from ancient Mesopotamia (now Iraq). It is often regarded as the earliest surviving masterpiece of literature. The narrative originated as a series of Sumerian legends and poems written in cuneiform script, circa 2100 BCE. Later, these works were patched together into a longer Akkadian poem preserved on twelve clay tablets, with the most complete version dating from the 13th to 10th centuries BCE. The epic follows the story of Gilgamesh, the mythological hero-king of Uruk, and his half-wild friend, Enkidu, as they undertake a series of dangerous quests and exciting adventures. After the death of his friend, Gilgamesh embarks on a search for the secret of immortality. He encounters Utnapishtim, the Sumerian Noah, who tells him the story of the Great Flood (or Deluge) and promises the secrets of eternal youth upon completion of certain challenges by the hero.
