This might seem like a stupid question but is there really a manga or anime on the legend of Gilgamesh? The only anime I knew about was some weird sci-fi thing from a couple of years back.
>> Anonymous
>>654040
Well, there is the character Gilgamesh in Fate/Stay Night.
>> Anonymous
>>654040
No, as far as I know there's only the overrated sci-fi anime.

(But I secretly wish for a movie with extra gay added.Or even a crappy manga adaptation would be fine)
>> Anonymous
>>654040
a GL/Gilgamesh crossover would also be cool...(Since obviously Viral's story = Enkidu's story)

I have a version of the book with some professor's essay on how they were canon gay, and Enkidu was the "bride".
For the lulz.

An anime would probably be gayer. Here's hoping.

It's an Italian publication, I doubt it made its way out of the country. But, just in case: ISBN 88-86792-26-3

I thinks it's kind of irritating, because Gilgamesh is described as a 5 meter big guy and not blonde little pretty dude.

Not that I'm complaining.

And Enkidu should literally be covered in hair/fur. Plus, both should have beards.
But I definitely like this version more, I admit.

Well, they shaved him and cleaned him so much that "he looked like Gilgamesh's twin", but before that he was indeed a wild, furry beastie.
>> Anonymous
>>654275
Shaved him? I thought he only bathed himself and that was it. But maybe it's because I'm reading the (kind of weird) german Version...

Man, these fanart are killing me.

Also, on one of the sites mentioned in>>653945
there's a page of manga with some chick. I couldn't read the moonrunes so I'd like to ask if she was Ninsun, Shamhat, or Ishtar.

It isn't your version. They just washed him.

I don't know what>>654229read, but it isn't really close to the Gilgamesh Poem.

If we got all technical, Gilgamesh would be a dark-skinned middle-eastern guy who would be top of the cool shape (and a bastard), and Enkidu would be some sort of bulltaur, as he's often described as being half-bull.

Where did the half-bull thing come from? Are we reading the same book? I only remember him fighting a monstrous bull sent by the gods.

Enkidu, Gilgamesh epos paraphrased (because I just know that using formal language from German to English will go terribly wrong):
lots of hair all over his body, curls like a woman, he doesn't know humans nor culture, clothed in a cloth like Shakkan(?) he eats grass, he drinks water with the herded animals. When he gets with Schamchat he suddenly has reason and he gets taken to Uruk where he eventually meets Gilgamesh (too bad the second table is so incomplete) and they decide to go against the bull in the cedar forest.

So: He's humanoid but furred all over.

The bull came after the cedar forest.

We can assume he was a half furry, but he definitely wasn't half bull. He was Giglamesh's wild/animalistic counterpart, but human.
I remember the part about "having hair like a woman's" too.

Ah, I love the Epic of Gilgamesh. For one of the oldest written tales in the world you'd be amazed how often it gets referenced. It's funny how dead cultures and religions don't really die, they just change into other things. You can see where a good bit of the book Genesis of Genesis from the bible came from in this story.
In fact if you are trapped for an extended period of time with your ultra conservative Christian family, you can try explaining to them that Christianity is based on heathen myths then watch them foam at the mouth, great sport really.

I don't really have too much art for the Epic of Gilgamesh aside from the images off of the websites posted, but I have a few. Enjoy.
