My understanding of how he became a hero and what I think about his accomplishments is as follows.
In the quarrel, he beat all the people who opposed him. I know that this is not currently brilliant, but it has already come back.
He beat Humbaba. I can not deny that he relies on Enkidu's encouragement and support, but on the contrary, both have sufficient credibility. This seems to mean that he conquered the west forest of Uruk.
He scolded Ishtar in a very rude manner. Similarly, modern standards are not worthy of praise, but even for human beings, they need courage, and she is a goddess. She is cruel, so maybe she will come to her. On the other hand, if the infertile goddess allows everyone's wishes, the population will increase and people will want infinite. In general, he should be more diplomatic /
He killed the bulls in heaven. In my understanding it is that Paradise Bulls drank all the rivers upstream of his kingdom and he overcame drought by building canals and storing a large amount of supplies. You have to give it to him
He built a strong and beautiful fort in the vicinity of Ulq. It is true that this cost is owned by the architect, but this happened under his leadership.
He really had to go through difficult times in order to go to Utna Pischeim. This part is not that wonderful. Because he was caught up in a ridiculous challenge to break the "stone of a thing" who stupidly moved the ship of Ursanabe, to keep it awake, killed the precious herbal transport.
"Pay attention to the strong walls of our city" Despite Gilgames's arrogance and selfishness, the people of Uruk know how much he helped build such a wonderful city It is. Gilgamesh is a real hero despite his faults? According to the hero cycle, the answer is yes. The hero cycle starts with an abnormal birth, then goes on a journey and ends with the implementation. In the epic story of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh proved that all these heroic features are genuine. The birth of Gilgamesh is rare. His mother is a goddess named Ninsun. His father was Rugabanda, once a perfect dead of King Urk. He was born with one-third of the people and two-thirds of God. This made Gilgamesh believe he was better than anyone else. He has everything except one, lasting life or immortality. Since then, his journey is about to begin, but he rarely knows the future lies.
Seeking Immortality - the story of King Gilgamesh. Heroes are usually semi-sacred and royal, while King Gilgamesh is one-third of God with two thirds. The human part of Gilgamesh may bring death to him and in the story of Gilgamesh he began to search for the secret of life as he realized that he would die someday. Gilgamesh became one of the earliest tragedy heroes, as he foolishly lost it after he learned that he was not dead. For example, there are sacred but deadly heroes seeking immortal gifts in almost every culture, such as Adonis, Tamz, Dionysus. But one of the most important myths is Egypt, the god of Osiris who came to the earth as a teacher. Here he was assassinated and awake (if the hero is totally sacred, they are still vulnerable). Later, after his sacred brother Horus gathered again, Osiris continued to be the god of the dead.
