"Gilgamesh, the king, who knew the countries of the world. He was wise, he saw mysteries and knew secret things, he brought us a tale of the days before the flood. He went a long journey, was weary, worn out with labour, and returning engraved on a stone the whole story."

My friend K.Creel impressed upon me that what Gilgamesh is remembered for is his humanity - not Godly beauty, not killing the great bull, not nearly achieving immortality; but knowledge, and story telling, and having worked hard. I now find this ending heart-breakingly beautiful.
