Gilgamesh – The epic of he who saw all
About two centuries ago, while excavating Ashurbanipal's library in Nineveh, archaeologists unearthed a series of tablets. When cuneiform writing was deciphered, they revealed the title of a poem: Of Him Who Saw the Depths and Foundations of the Earth.
Gilgamesh is the oldest poem in the world. It is the story of a young king who, after experiencing the pain of the death of his best friend, leaves the throne to go in search of the secret of eternal life. At the end of his wanderings, after having interrogated the only man who survived the Flood, he returns to his homeland with the certainty that man's destiny is to be mortal.
Gilgamesh's journey to the ends of the world, from a heroic point of view, is a complete failure, but his defeat becomes a new point of understanding the things of life.
