产品故事

 乌鲁克的天帝吉尔伽美什一身“三分之二是神，三分之一是人”。犹如天帝的他驯服了天神派来的原始人恩启都，两人结为密友，协力杀死怪物，救出女神伊什塔尔。他拒绝女神的爱情，并杀死前来复仇的天牛，遭到失去恩启都的惩罚。在极度悲痛之中，他决定探究人类永生的方法。历尽艰辛，了解到当年大洪水时乌特纳庇什廷得到永生的经过，并潜入海底，取得了长生草。可是归途中长生草被蛇吞食。回到乌鲁克后，在神的帮助下与亡友之灵相会，方始明白人类不能永生。

美索不达米亚的希腊语的意思是底格里斯河与幼发拉底河两河之间的土地，原义“两河流域”。美索不达米亚文明6000年前已有较发达文化，曾出现苏美尔、阿卡德、巴比伦、亚述等文明。而《咏吉尔伽美什史诗》是巴比伦文学中杰出的著作，早在苏美尔时期就有关于天帝吉尔伽美什的故事，经巴比伦人综合加工，形成一部完整的史诗，反映古代人民对自然法则和生死秘密的探求以及对神权的鄙视。

Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk was two-thirds god and one-third man. He was a cruel king who lorded over his subjects and raped any woman who struck his fancy. The people cried out to the gods for help. In response to their plea, the gods created Enkidu, a wild man as formidable as Gilgamesh to rescue the people from further oppression. Soon after their first battle, Gilgamesh and Enkidu became friends. Together, they journeyed to the Cedar Mountain and killed Humbaba, an ogre who was guardian of the cedar forests. Later, they killed the Bull of Heaven that was sent by the goddess Ishtar to punish Gilgamesh for spurning her advances. As a punishment for their transgressions, somebody had to die and the gods decided that it should be Enkidu. Gilgamesh was heartbroken at the death of his best friend and started brooding about the prospect of death. After a harrowing and perilous journey to discover the secret of eternal life, he managed to obtain a youth-renewing plant and intended to test it on the elders back in Uruk. However, a serpent stole the plant and Gilgamesh returned empty-handed. Upon seeing his city, Gilgamesh was finally reconciled with his mortality. He realized that his greatest legacy would be a city well ruled. Man cannot live forever but humankind will live on.

A land between the Tigris and Euphrates river, Mesopotamia is known as the “land of rivers”. Mesopotamia has been widely considered to be the cradle of civilization which produced Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian and Assyrian empires. “The Epic of Gilgamesh” is the oldest written story on Earth and perhaps the most noted literary product of Babylonia. It was written on twelve tablets as Sumerian poems and subsequently pieced together and translated into the story as we know it. In The Epic of Gilgamesh, we see the perspectives of Mesopotamians towards natural law, death and attitudes towards the gods of their time. Also, the universal themes of love and friendship, mortality and the journey of life in the story are still as relevant for today’s times.
