This version of Gilgamesh is different than the one we read in class. A
constant theme throughout the story is the fear of death and dying.
"Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to? ... As for you, Gilgamesh, fill
your belly with good things; day and night, night and day, dance and be merry,
feast and rejoice." This quote shows us how they thought nothing was
permanent so so might as well enjoy ones life. Another theme that is shown
in this story is the friendship between Gilgamesh and Enkidu.
