Gilgamesh has returned. He is home again. A mere mortal. He has returned to his ordinary life. And he writes. Our first writings, over 35 centuries ago.
... translation in progress ...
Written to pass on, to fight against oblivion, to leave a trace.
Written to perpetuate oneself, to create a history, a place in humanity.
Don't forget me.
(The Epic of Gilgamesh)
