a companion. “Gilgamesh: A Verse Narrative” by Herbert Mason is an ancient Babylonian epic about two friends‚ Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Gilgamesh is an oppressive king‚ and Enkidu is like the king of the animals. The establishment of their powerful friendship plays an avid role in the epic.

By the end of the epic‚ Gilgamesh has hardly changed from the ravenous man he was in the beginning of the poem. In the beginning of the epic‚ Gilgamesh is portrayed as a man who is selfish; someone will stop at nothing to satisfy his desires‚ however irrational his desires are. One of Gilgamesh’s many desires is to win fame and glory for himself and his descendants. To accomplish this‚ he decides to venture into the Cedar Forest to seek and destroy Huwawa. When Enkidu advises against this perilous

The book of genesis creates an elaborate narrative about how the universe was created‚ while science approaches the creation of the universe in an evidence-based manner. The narrative set forth in the book of genesis does not correspond with what science presents‚ hence catalyzing the feud between creationism versus evolution. However‚ it is not accurate to claim one or the other as factual. The book of genesis‚ simply put‚ is the word of God. In contrast‚ our scientific knowledge is based on theories

These stories depict women

I don’t think they have neither a homosexual relationship nor anything far beyond than friendship because people didn’t have the same mentality before as they do now. With research I’ve found that men were more intimate with one another than now days. Actions that can now be interpreted as homosexual activity were just
