who is enkidu
Enkidu is one of the most enduring characters of the Epic of Gilgamesh. This epic poetry originated from Mesopotamia and became the earliest known form of literature. Gilgamesh, who is the protagonist in the epic, was the fourth king of Uruk.This young ruler of the kingdom was deemed to the strongest; most powerful superhuman that ever existed. Being two-thirds god and one-third human, Gilgamesh was coated with arrogance and pride that he oppresses the people of his kingdom.his wild man was named Enkidu. Enkidu was created to answer the plea of the people, who suffered under Gilgameshâs rule. Beautifully formed in the mind of Aruru, Enkidu was brought to life to be Gilgameshâs equal and companion.
