I just read the Epic of Gilgamesh ! It is so good! In the epic, Endiku, Gilgamesh’s best friend, gets sick and dies, and Gilgamesh searches for eternal life! He meets Ut-Napishtim, who gained eternal life by surviving an ancient flood that wiped off humanity. Ut-Napishtim tells him about a plant that if you eat it you become immortal. He wanted to save it for later. A snake came and ate it and he then learned that no one could be immortal like the Greek gods. That is a quick summary of the first ever literature peace in the world!
