a hero? who is he?

Who is Gilgamesh? How does he look like? What did he do? Interesting facts I learned as I read Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh is “who knew the way things were before the flood, the secret things, the mystery” (pg 2) as we can infer he did many great things so many that peopled loved him and as the book said he had the aura of an ox. Wile reading I thought of many things, how Gilgamesh can be so perfect. It looked like to me that the author had a great admiration towards Gilgamesh; he describes him like the greatest power on earth.
In some way Gilgamesh can be the same as Ishmael because they are both so intelligent and by the both authors so admired. They are like a hero like a figure; as far as I read my feelings through out the pages were admiration to the character described “there was no withstanding the aura or power of the wild ox” (pg.4) I’ve created like and admiration to the character and a bond a connection with the book.
