One particular anecdote that illustrates the perfect example of such a protagonist is the legendary myth of Gilgamesh‚ which recounts the adventures of Gilgamesh and Enkidu‚ two friends who are equally valiant‚ stalwart‚ and insightful. Although both men are considered idyllic heroes‚ Enkidu seems to be a more favorable character. Unlike Gilgamesh‚ Enkidu possesses a virtuous personality‚ which renders him a greater protagonist. Even when Enkidu lived a savage life‚ he already
