Also spelled Gilgamesh , and originally Bilgamesh, he is the main hero of the Akkadian poem the Epic of Gilgamesh . It is also, and above all, the first great literary work in history. The dates in which this poem was written are uncertain and we can find several sources online. However, it appears to have been written between 2100 and 1400 BC But who was Gilgamesh? He was the semi-mythical king of Uruk, son of the Priest-King Lugalbanda and the goddess Ninsun (Holy Mother and Great Queen). He was also a demi-god, who lived a long time (it is said that he reigned for 126 years) and had superhuman strength. Legend aside, Gilgamesh is accepted as the 5th king of Uruk, an ancient Sumerian city.
Epic poem of ancient Mesopotamia, the Epic of Gilgameš is a series of legends and poems in cuneiform, later reunited in a single corpus as the Akkadian poem, which includes 12 clay tablets. The story is about Gilgameš and his friend Enkidu, protagonists of dangerous adventures, and Gilgameš's search for the secret of immortality after his friend's death. Some scholars Special Data believe that this work influenced Homer in the writing of his Odyssey , while some aspects of the Epic recall the biblical episode of Noah. The poem begins with these lines: Of him who saw everything, I want to tell the world; of him who learned and was expert in all things. Of Gilgamesh, who attained the deepest knowledge, who learned and was expert in all things. Ulysses It seems strange, but Ulysses does not appear for the first time in the Odyssey (in Greek Ulysses is called Odysseus), but in the Iliad .
Homer, according to the latest discoveries, wrote this work in 762 BC . The name of Ulysses has therefore been circulating for over 2700 years. Indeed, to tell the truth, the name of Ulysses has been around since the 3rd century BC, since it was Livy Andronicus who called Odysseus this way in his translation of the Greek work. Odysseus is the king of Ithaca. His name should mean "hated by enemies". Ulysses' return to his homeland takes place through 12 stages, among these we can remember the arrival at the land of the Lotus Eaters, the meeting with the Cyclops Polyphemus, the island of Aeolus, the adventure of the sorceress Circe and Hades and the sirens. Perhaps due to the difficulty of transposing the entire Odyssey to the cinema, there are few films dedicated to the work. In 1911, the first film, The Odyssey, was produced .
