Gilgamesh, the Story
Gilgamesh, the story of the great Sumerian king of the same name, is considered the oldest surviving epic on Earth. The real-life King Gilgamesh is believed to have reigned in Sumeria around 2700 to 2500 BC. Legends state that Gilgamesh ruled for 126 "years," although a "year" may have been measured by seasons or moon phases. Gilgamesh is 2/3 god and 1/3 man, being the son of the goddess Ninsun and Priest Kullab.
There are many authors of Gilgamesh, a story written on 12 clay tablets, found in the library of the Assyrian king Assurbanipal. Ancients described this story as The Gilgamesh Cycle, a poem of 12 songs (cantos), 300 lines each. Today, the tablets are worn and chipped, so parts of dozens of lines have been lost forever. Still, the wisdom of this story remains for us to enjoy today. Gilgamesh begins: Sha nagba imuru ("he who saw everything"). Originally, the epic would have been recited and accompanied by Musical Instruments such as lyres, harps, reed pipes, and drums.
