I Am Gilgamesh

Описание: “I Am Gilgamesh” is an epic storytelling song inspired by Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the oldest surviving works of literature in human history.

Gilgamesh was a legendary king of Uruk, believed to have ruled around 2700 BCE in ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq). According to myth, he was two-thirds divine and one-third human, born of the goddess Ninsun. Known for his strength and ambition, he formed a powerful friendship with Enkidu, defeated the monstrous Humbaba, and challenged the gods themselves.

After Enkidu’s death, Gilgamesh embarked on a desperate journey to find immortality, meeting Utnapishtim — survivor of a great flood — only to learn that eternal life is not meant for mortals. His story became a timeless reflection on friendship, grief, power, and humanity’s search for meaning.

This song retells his journey in a modern epic style, blending mythology, emotion, and history.
