That's a tad too nihilistic I think? Death is inevitable for even the most powerful person in the world, yet everyone still does their best and some are immortalized through their achievements. Gilgamesh's attitude is worth at least that much.
- BjoernKW 7y ago> That's a tad too nihilistic I think? Not at all. At least not how I perceive it. I'd characterise it as existentialist rather than nihilistic thinking. Knowing that death is inevitable for everyone, even god kings such as Gilgamesh, can serve is a constant reminder to try and create a legacy that transcends yourself.
