Welcome weary surfer, to the bloody funny Epic of
Gilgamesh.
This is a MUSICAL Epic,
so in order to hear the all-original Mesopotamian music you will need to set
your speakers to "ON." The songs may take a minute to load, but they're worth the wait! Also, give
the images at the bottom of the page a second to load and then run your
mouse over them - the images will change to give you some clues as to what
to do next, ok? And last but not least, the lyrics to all of the songs are in
the Bloody Funny Songbook - since I just know
that you will want to sing along with me!
If you want some background on the Epic, follow this Link - Epic Introduction, otherwise, read on...
Here, YOU get the chance to be Gilgamesh! Lord it over the people as Gilgamesh the King of Uruk, smash evil monsters, make love to beautiful women, defy the gods, search for eternal life or simply laze around in your palace drinking fine wine whilst being fanned with a peacock feather.
Or, you may prefer to play the part of Enkidu - the beautiful Wildman! Walk with the animals, talk with the animals, run naked through the long grass with the wind blowing through your hair, free from all silly
civilized trappings.
And ladies, please don't worry, you'll no doubt make much better heroes than the guys will, you have more brains for starters. All you have to do is read the story and click on the links at the bottom of the page to choose what you want to do next. So, the first decision you need to make is - do you want to be Gilgamesh or do you want to be Enkidu? Good luck!
You're sure gonna need it!
