Gilgamesh Tablets I, II, III

On the first tablet of the Gilgamesh, as I read I couldn't avoid thinking about movies for example, The Lord Of The Rings. The dialogue, the names and the way they say things reminds me a lot of those kinds of movies. Gilgamesh, is a king which everyone in the kingdom admires and asks him for his advice on what to do. This is the same as a typical ancient kingdom story you might see in movies. They also describe Gilgamesh as being twice the saze of an ordinary man. They compare Gilgamesh, their king to being two thirds god and one third man.

On tablets II and III, Enkidu goes to Uruk which is the kingdom and fights Gilgamesh. "You are the strongest of all, the perfect, the terror." Pg 15. Even the strongest men admired him and he is describbed as being the best of all. The rest of this tablet says more things about the kong Gilgamesh and also describes how he ruled and things he said. They describe him as full of courage. Gilgamesh and Enkidu are going on a journey together to the forest and here is where the tablet ends.
