  • Noahs Ark Time Period
    750 words
    Certain legends have fascinated people through history, being passed down generations through oral tradition and hearsay. Noahs Ark is a prime example of a story many people should be well acquainted with perhaps as sleepy-eyed children on a bright Sunday morning or through gazing at a cheerful illustration featuring a bearded man on a large boat with giraffes, hippos, and lions. It surprises many that the tale is strikingly similar to a story featuring a mythical Sumerian king named Gilgamesh. ...

    1,032 words
    Gilgamesh is a character that evolves throughout the epic of Gilgamesh. Throughout the first half of the epic, Gilgamesh is depicted as courageous and heroic on a quest of terror with his great companion Enkidu. In the end after accepting that he too will have to die and be subject to fate, Gilgamesh settles back into his city setting, only this time to be a wise king rather than the foolish hero he once was. Gilgamesh's character is something a reader might question after reading the first half...

  • Immortal Life Vs Name Gilgamesh And Beowulf
    1,456 words
    Death. Fate. Immortality. Destiny. All are subjects that we tend to avoid. While most of us hope for life after death, we tend not to dwell on this subject because we are uncomfortable with the unknown. On those rare occasions when we allow ourselves to think about the fact that our days are numbered, we wonder if death can be cheated and immortality gained. Some have suggested that being remembered is just as enduring as living forever. Thoughts of destiny and the here after are not new. They h...

  • Gilgamesh And Enkidu Bull Of Heaven
    1,456 words
    The epic of Gilgamesh was found in the mid nineteenth century, written on over twenty five thousand clay tablets. After much studying and deciphering, this ancient Sumerian epic has finally been translated, though many of the tablets have not been found. It appears that all the most important elements of the story probably existed as separate poems when they were first written. One of the oldest pieces of literature found today, Gilgamesh is at least 1, 500 years older than Homer's epics, and wa...

    1,135 words
    The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the masterpieces of world literature. Exploring mankind's universal longing for immortality, the poem tells the story of a Babylonian hero's quest for glory and flight from death. A feeling of resentment is something each and every one of us felt throughout our lives. Some say it is a phase we go through, I say it's common. The more you try to appease others the less you feel about yourself. Is it truly important to consider this hatred and opinion of others, as D...

  • Mesopotamia Egypt And The Hebrews Research
    1,758 words
    MESOPOTAMIA Mesopotamia was the land of four primary civilizations: the Sumerian, the Akkadians, the Babylonian and the Assyrians. The Hebrews, like the Akkadians, belong to a group of people known as Semites and from there we can see the influence of Mesopotamian culture in some of the Hebrews traditions. During the same time, civilization began in Egypt, and there can be seen a distinct difference in the social, religious and political system from Mesopotamia; that the link between the two civ...

    Each god has a certain domain and cannot control another gods' domain. All the gods including Zeus, the father of the gods, want Odysseus to be able to return home in The Odyssey. However, Poseiden, just one god, prevents Odysseus from returning. It is only when Poseiden is absent from Mt. Olympus that the other gods are able to take control and assist Odysseus in returning home. Gilgamesh also has the same misconception that the gods are all powerful.

    1,525 words
    Religion in Literary Works The common themes in the writing of both the Common Era, and throughout history are riddled with religious symbolism, religious values, and even religious characters. In the worlds of religion, oral tradition was slowly phased out, as written texts became the basis for story telling. Moral codes and religious teachings could never have been accurately passed down from generation to generation without the use of the written word. The intertwining of literature and relig...

  • Back To Life End Of The Story
    621 words
    The epic yarn Gilgamesh leaves the reader with the sour taste of pessimism when s / he finishes the book. This pessimistic ending is not the happy ending I was expecting to see considering the tragic ambiance of the rest of the story. The entire last part of the book, from Enkidu s death onward, is nothing but more sorrow for Gilgamesh. The book likes to give Gilgamesh hope. Then crush him with more tragedy. It is almost as if the more he tries, the worse it gets for him. After Enkidu s death, G...

    Stories do not need to inform us of anything. They do inform us of things.

We know they celebrated a king named Gilgamesh; we know they believed in many gods; we know they were self-conscious of their own cultivation of the natural world; and we know they were literate. These things we can fix or establish definitely. But ...
