I don't think that these fames are necessarily about conquering! Even in the Anglo-Saxon and Greek notions, I'd argue that glory is not about conquering as much as it is about serving those around you through self-sacrifice War is just the field of play :)
Yes, sorry... I meant mainly *Gilgamesh’s* attitude toward fame is imperialistic (“stamping”). I can see that e.g. Greek notions might be more peaceful

I agree! The Sumerians thinks fame comes from crushing victories The Anglo-Saxons think fame comes from victorious war to lead your people to shared prosperity Homeric Greeks think fame comes from showing moral strength in service of ideals, often during war
