Gilgamesh Genbu papercraft
In later Babylonian times , these stories began to be pieced together and linked. The Akkadian standard Epic of Gilgamesh was compiled by a scribe named Sin-lēqi-unninni, possibly during the Middle Babylonian period ( c. 1600 - c.1155 BC), compiled from older sources. In the epic, Gilgamesh is a demigod king with superhuman strength. He befriends Enkidu and together they go on adventures, defeating Humbaba (the East Semitic equivalent of Huwawa) and the Celestial Bull Gugalanna, the divine bull sent by the goddess Ishtar (the East Semitic equivalent of Inanna) to devastated Uruk after Gilgamesh refused to be her lover. After Enkidu died due to punishment from the gods, Gilgamesh became afraid of death, and visited the sage Utnapishtim, who survived the Great Flood, in hopes of finding immortality . After repeatedly failing in his quest for immortality, Gilgamesh returns to Uruk and realizes that immortality is beyond man's reach.
