Dear Mr. Gilgamesh,

You had probably passed away a long time ago or maybe you have gained the immortality that you were seeking. Although I am writing to let you know that you have completed your mission and your goal in this life. You had succeeded in stamping your name in our minds. However, some people think that you were not even existed, that you were a lie, and that you were a fake king. What I really think is that you existed, but were not as powerful as you were in the epic. I believe that you were a normal king, but a king with such high ambition. Especially when you wanted to kill Humbaba whether you will die or not. Gilgamesh, befitting your epic hero status, I believe that you wanted to fight and kill Humbaba to prove to your people that they should not be afraid of Humbaba and that the gods are able to be defied by mere mortals. Also, perhaps as a secondary motive, you wanted to be able to inspire the youth of Uruk with your mighty deeds to encourage them to be great and powerful in the same way that you were. And then you will drive out evil from the world. “Time passed quickly. Gilgamesh said, “now we must travel to the Cedar Forest, where the fierce monster Humbaba lives. We must kill him and drive out the evil from the world.” (book III). However, I really want to ask you, what was your major motivation for seeking a fight with Humbaba? Was it for your kingdom or for yourself?

As I told you, some of the people here do not really like you because most of the time you were a bad, unfair, and merciless king. You were that kind of king, who cares only about himself and his own benefits. So, please be a more merciful and fairer king, people will love you as a king. Also, you do not have to worry about your mortal life because as you told Enkidu, “why afraid then, since sooner or later death must come?” (p.93). In addition, instead of looking for an immortal life, you can enjoy every moment left in your life. Remember what Shiduri had told you, “enjoy your life, spend it in happiness, not despair. Savor your food, make each of your days a delight, bathe and anoint yourself, wear bright clothes that are sparkling clean, let music and dancing fill your house, love the child who holds you by the hand, and give your wife pleasure in your embrace. That is the best way for a man to live.” (p.168-169)

I hope you receive my letter.
