GILGAMESH by Stephen Mitchell

Read this book for class Gilgamesh what a great read this was. Did not really expect to enjoy reading this but have to say that I'm in love with this book. Set like a poem to be read and a pretty fast read at that.
Gilgamesh a man who believes he can have everything he wants, especially with the women, the people of the village do not like this one bit and ask the GODS to send some help to stop him, send someone they do, his equal. Enkidu turns out to be his equal, his best friend, and his brother.

Together they are unstoppable they take care of things that need to be taking care of and when they take care of a situation they upset the GODS and that was something they should not have done.  So they take something very dear to Gilgamesh and now he is at a loss, a loss that sends him searching for answers. HOW DOES ONE DEAL WITH DEATH? This is what Gilgamesh is on a search for.
