Mythology[]
Gilgamesh was the fifth king of Uruk, modern day Iraq, ca. 2500 BC. According to the Sumerian king list he reigned for 126 years. He is the central character in the Epic of Gilgamesh, the greatest surviving work of early Mesopotamian literature, as a demigod of superhuman strength who built the city walls of Uruk to defend his people from external threats. He is usually described as two-thirds god and one third man.
In the Qumran scroll known as Book of Giants (ca. 100 BC) the names of Gilgamesh and Humbaba appear as two of the antediluvian giants. This same text was later used in the Middle East by the Manichaean sects, and the Arabic form Jiljamish survives as the name of a demon according to the Egyptian cleric Al-Suyuti (ca. 1500).
