-This is part of the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Mesopotamian king. just in brief Gilgamesh was a bad king to his people, he was strong and they were weak. So he looked down on all of them, the people tried to do something about him but none of them could stand up to him and his strength. So they went to a man raised in the wild by all the creatures, his name was Enkidu and told him about Gilgamesh the king. Enkidu went to the city and called out the king, they fought through the city and Gilgamesh came out again victorious, but something was different. through fighting Enkidu seeing his strength and how much he cared for all life they forged a great friendship, which in turn make Gilgamesh a better king.
