An excellent read powerful almost beyond reckoning
Gilgamesh is the epic tale of the Demi-god King, and the man created to destroy him, who instead of fighting, become dear friends. Gilgamesh is wrought with verse as powerful and stirring as Dante's Divine Comedy. This Babylonian tale is one nearly unparalleled and has stood the test of time, longer in fact, than nearly any other tale in history.
