Epic of
Gilgamesh
Clay mask of Humbaba, guardian of the forest of the gods (from http://mockingbird.creighton.edu/worldlit/lit/gilga.html)
"I will proclaim to the world the deeds of Gilgamesh. This was the man to whom all things were known; this was the king who knew the countries of the world. He was wise, he saw mysteries and knew secret things, he brought us a tale of the days before the flood. He went on a long journey, was weary, worn-out with labour, returning he rested, he engraved on a stone the whole story."
- from Gilgamesh, Norton Anthology of World Masterpieces: Volume One.
