        No you’re thinking of gargamel, Gilgamesh is the bumbling little buddy who got stranded on a tropical island and kept screwing up rescue plans.

            No you’re thinking of gargoyle. Gilgamesh is a giant lizard that destroyed Tokyo.

      here’s a good plot summary and analysis of themes (if an hour-long video is a medium you find tolerable)

      Oldest recorded story in history that we know of. I believe it’s about an ancient king trying to become immortal

      The story is funny and not so long. You should have a Look. He even has a cool monster friend.

        Fried monster? I guess if you remember the ancestors of chickens were dinosaurs, we too can have fried monster.

      It’s a very good story.

      And I say that as someone who’s usually disappointed by myths.
