>>1153749 Uh, it was a while... Enkidu died, and Gilgamesh went to see his ancestor Ut-Napishtim (?) who survived the great flood on his boat and also happened to be immortal. Ut-Napishtim tells him of a plant that grants eternal life, Gilgamesh goes through some epic trouble to get it, and on his way home, while he was bathing, some god or other transformed into a snake steals the plant. The moral of the story was probably in the lines of "don't bother".
