Gilgamesh.

This is the first epic for which written traces have been found, in the form of signs impressed on clay tablets.

A story that has crossed millennia to tell of the transformation of a king who, afraid of death, behaves like a tyrant toward women, men, and Nature, until his people ask the gods to impose limits. One of the few epics to end with an initiatory and philosophical quest, in which Gilgamesh seeks immortality and returns enriched by a renewed sense of his humanity, aware of his vulnerability as a mere mortal and respectful of all living things. A remarkable mirror that sheds light on the challenges facing our civilization today.
