After reading the excerpts from The Epic of Gilgamesh, I feel that Gilgamesh is such a charming and respected hero for his wise, courage, persistence. In my view, in the ancient, Mesopotamians believed that the most gods were perfect both physically and mentally surpassing all others. Nevertheless, there were some gods, who were not perfect at all. For example, Ishtar, the goodness of love, was fickle in matter of love. She tried to kill Gilgamesh after her proposes was refused. Meanwhile, they owned unlimited power, which means that they could control mortals as they wanted and endowed people with anything they like. Though gods created men they allotted to them death, they can’t decide the life of men. Mortals chose their own destiny.
