The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the finest surviving epic poems in world literature. The main elements of the story probably existed in oral tradition long before they were written down and it is therefore ideally suited for audio adapation. Dating from the third millennium BC, The "Epic" centres around the character of Gilgamesh, the great king of Uruk, and his futile quest for immortality. It recounts his arduous journey to the Spring of Youth, his encounters with monsters and gods, and his friendship with Enkidu, the wild man from the hills. Blending adventure, morality and tradegy, "The Epic of Gilgamesh" transcends the barriers of place and time.
