about

The myth of the god-king Gilgamesh is one of the oldest literary works in the world, dating back to 2100 BCE. Yet the actions and psychology of this troubled hero are very familiar. How can he reconcile his divine and mortal sides and fulfill his destiny? What does he learn about power, loss, and life?

In this episode you meet Gilgamesh and his friend and foil, Enkidu the wild man. In the image associated with this track, Gilgamesh is the taller guy with the lion (because he is a god-king) and Enkidu is the one with the horns, hooves, and animal ears (because he once thought that he was a gazelle).
