Gilgamesh is best known for the Epic of Gilgamesh. The epic is composed of a collection of heroic stories with Gilgamesh as the main character. The stories were handed down orally for centuries and later frequently written down in cuneiform. The final version of the epic would date to the twelfth century BCE, but older fragments ascend into the 3rd millennium. In these stories, the hero Gilgamesh, often accompanied by his friend Enkidu, has mythological adventures.
