Explanation:

The Epic of Gilgamesh is an epic poem in which the feats and life of Sumerian king Gilgamesh are told in a most exaggerated manner. Gilgamesh is seen as a hero, even a god of mythological proportions. Very much like an epic hero, in the excerpt we are analyzing here, Gilgamesh gives great importance to his name being remembered through generations. It is common in ancient epics for heroes to wish for a grand death, one that would come as a result of fighting monsters or armies, defending their people and country. Epic heroes do not fear death. Their actions will determine their legacy. Their honor and deeds will have their names live on, beyond their own lifetime. Nothing could be better than to die a brave death.
