    Text and Discourse The nature of text When we think of a text‚ we typically think of a stretch of language complete in itself and of some considerable extent.

    The Epic of Gilgamesh Through numerous experiences: his friendship with Enkidu‚ their dreams and journies together‚ and his quest for immortality‚ Gilgamesh changes from a selfish and cruel individual to a wise leader. Gilgamesh‚ King of Uruk‚ was a spoiled and selfish person in character. There was no one who compared to his kingliness and as a result was running around Uruk out of control and unchecked. In efforts to find a balance Aruru created Enkidu out of clay and sent him into the

    Notes on Epic Poetry An epic or heroic poem falls into one of two patterns‚ both established by Homer: the structure (and allegory to life) may be either war or journey‚ and the hero may be on a quest (as Odysseus is) or pursuing conquest (as Achilles is). Features of legend building evident in epic include the following: 1. the hero’s near-invulnerability (Achilles’ heel‚ the spot on Seigfried’s back); 2. the hero’s fighting without conventional weapons (as in Beowulf’s wrestling Grendel); 3
