Gilgamesh fue un héroe en la mitología mesopotámica antigua y el protagonista de la Epic of Gilgamesh, un poema épico escrito en acadio durante el final del segundo milenio a. C. Era posiblemente un rey histórico del estado-ciudad sumerio de Uruk, quien fue deificado póstumamente. Su reinado probablemente habría tenido lugar en algún momento al comienzo del Early Dynastic Period, c. 2900–2350 a. C., aunque se convirtió en una figura importante en la leyenda sumeria durante la Third Dynasty of Ur.
“When the seventh day dawned I loosed a dove and let her go. She flew away, but finding no resting-place she returned. Then I loosed a swallow, and she flew away but finding no resting-place she returned. I loosed a raven, she saw that the waters had retreated, she ate, she flew around, she cawed, and she did not come back.”
“You will be accounted a god. [...] Lord of Kulaba, [...] hero of the pristine mountain.”
