  • "Gilgamesh's appetite for wine, women, and warfare is insatiable. As the King of Uruk, he oppresses his people and burdens his city. To temper his excesses, the gods create Enkidu, Gilgamesh's equal, who becomes his greatest friend. Together they wander the kingdom as brothers, conquering demons until a cruel twist changes Gilgamesh's path forever. Two parts god and one part man, Gilgamesh is mortal--a fate he now resolves to overcome, no matter what the price. And so he embarks on another journey, in pursuit of vengeance and the ultimate prize for a mortal king: eternal life."

  • "This is a portrait of a courageous, lusty, sometimes reckless ruler of men; a tale of a man haunted by gods, tormented by his passion for a woman who was his greatest rival, and driven by a thirst for immortality. It is the retelling of the legend of Gilgamesh of Sumeria, a god-king who discovered the secret of eternal life."@en
  • "The story of Gilgamesh, the greatest warrior-king of the Sumerian civilisation. Gilgamesh becomes king of Uruk but this does not satisfy his gargantuan appetite for life. His boredom is only reduced by the coming of Enkidu, a strange wild man who can meet him as an equal."@en
