This Mesopotamian epic tells the story of Gilgamesh, a Sumerian king who embarks on a journey to seek immortality after the death of his friend Enkidu. Along the way, he encounters gods, monsters, and deep philosophical questions about life, death, and the human condition. The work remains a classic in world literature, offering profound insights into ancient humanity’s struggle with mortality and fate."
