The Human Emotions In The Epic Of Gilgamesh

The Epic of Gilqaiiieh is a story of tragedy and conquer. The main character, Gilgamesh, was always seen as a god, powerful and strong, and "perfect", yet if you look closely into his stories you can spot many human acts being shown throughout his adventures.
