Gilgamesh was a powerful yet cruel dictator in the Bronze Age civilization of Uruk (Babylon). In response to the people’s cries, the gods created a man from nature, Enkidu, who was born in the wild but eventually learned the ways of humanity. He set out to stop the cruelty of Gilgamesh, not knowing that the power of friendship was here to save the day.

We’ll periodically, in-between series, do a Mythology Matters video, where we talk about some of the writing and research choices we made and topics we didn’t really get to cover in the full illustrated episodes. Let’s talk about plot holes and discrepancies in the myths we’ve covered so far, and the parallels we see between myths from completely different cultures!
