Prompt/Question
In “The Epic of Gilgamesh,” we see the transformation of Gilgamesh from a prideful and reckless king into a wiser, more reflective figure. Using Joseph Campbell’s concept of the Hero’s Journey, discuss whether Gilgamesh is ultimately a successful hero, even though he fails to achieve immortality. What does he gain, and how does his journey reflect universal human experiences such as grief, friendship, and acceptance of mortality?
