Hello Aspirant,

Hope you are doing great. Gilgamesh was given importance and knowledge of how to pray the gods, why death was ordained for human beings, what makes a good king, and how to live a good life. The grief of Gilgamesh, and the questions his friend's death evoke, resonate with every human who has wrestled with the meaning of life in the face of death. The story of Utnapishtim, the hero of the flood myth, can also be found in the Babylonian epic of Atra-Hasis. Gilgamesh defied death and, in doing so, becomes the first epic hero in world literature.

All the best
