Gilgamesh: The Tragic Hero Who Fell to the Gods
The Epic of Gilgamesh is an ancient Mesopotamian odyssey that tells the adventures of Gilgamesh, an incredibly powerful demigod with superhuman strength, and the ruler of Uruk. However, in the world that this story is in, there is a group of much stronger beings known as “gods”. Even though Gilgamesh is the almighty hero of the epic, and the king of Uruk, the gods are actually the ones in the role of the ruler of the world, and wield absolute power and control over the mortals, especially Gilgamesh himself.
