Read the passage from Heracles. In Mesopotamian literature, Gilgamesh is a hero whose feats are reminiscent of the labors of Heracles. Like Heracles, Gilgamesh is a demigod who possesses supernatural strength and great courage. But he too misuses his extraordinary gifts. At the outset, Gilgamesh is a disgraceful king, who oppresses his people and is only interested only in his own pleasures. The Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the earliest surviving works of literature, follows his exploits. In his first quest, Gilgamesh is unafraid of death and, seeking glory, gets into a deadly confrontation with Humbaba, a great forest demon. After the painful death of his best friend, Enkidu, Gilgamesh grows bitter that only the gods may live eternally. Thus, his second quest is propelled by a fear of death.
