GILGAMESH Quiz #1


Answer the following question in a well-developed paragraph. Please use specific examples from the text to make your point. Also, please type and double space your response and bring to class on Wednesday. We will complete the quiz with questions 2-5 in class.

When Enkidu dies, Gilgamesh goes nearly mad with grief. He even sits by the body until it starts to decay! Afterwards, he puts on animal skins and seeks the underworld and the secret of immortality.

What is Gilgamesh's motive for his search? Is it love? Fear? Something else?
