In this essay I am going to illustrate how power turn can change people‚ or in this case‚ half person half god. Gilgamesh is not the only king or governor that has been terrible throughout history. I will compare Gilgamesh with other kings that have been known as bad kings that only cared about themselves‚ as well compare the similarities between him and today’s governors.
