The Epic of Gilgamesh is the beginning to a historic fiction based on the earliest heroic figure known on the planet. Set over 6,000 years ago in the crade of civilization, the warlord of Uruk city in Southern Iraq comes into conflict with a beast-man named Enkidu. I worked on this story for a fiction workshop I took during my graduate studies. I plan to finish it one day, but not before a fictional account about Yeshu.
