The king sets a goal for himself: journey to the Cedar Forest‚ defeat the guardian demon‚ and retrieve the cedar. Several times along the way‚ the hero experiences dread. His fear is justified; Enkidu tells Gilgamesh of the demon‚ “Humbaba’s mouth is fire; his roar the floodwater; his breath is death.” Indeed‚ the journey

immigrants face multiple difficulties and challenges in the new world they know as the Land of the Golden Mountain.
