The Epic of Gilgamesh is the world’s oldest surviving epic, a tale that blends myth, history, and timeless human questions. It follows Gilgamesh, a powerful king of ancient Mesopotamia, whose friendship with the wild man Enkidu changes him forever. Together they battle monsters and defy the gods, but when tragedy strikes, Gilgamesh is forced to confront his own mortality. Part adventure, part spiritual journey, it’s a story about friendship, loss, and the search for meaning that still resonates more than four thousand years after it was first told.
