Gilgamesh

Gilgamesh lords it over the people of Uruk until Enkidu appears to counteract his arrogance. The two of them, now close friends, seek immortality through extraordinary deeds until Enkidu meets an early death. Gilgamesh, in sorrow, continues to seek immortality on his own and after many struggles comes to realize he is only a man and fated, like all men, to die.
