“The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the oldest literatures. Recorded on clay tablets, it dates back to the XVII century BC. Being two-thirds god, one-third man, he finds no place for himself from the raging power within. And with his twin Enkidu he sets out on his exploits. After the gods take Enkidu away, the inconsolable Gilgamesh, in search of immortality, goes to the world where Utnapishti lives (he is the only one to whom the gods have granted immortality). Utnapishti tells him where in the depths of the waters to find the flower of immortality. Having obtained the flower, Gilgamesh falls asleep and the flower is stolen by a snake, after which it renews itself by shedding its skin. Gilgamesh returns to his kingdom of Uruk and remains there to rule. This work, recorded on 12 clay tablets, is a description of the character of the 12 zodiacal signs. There are indirect references to them in the text.
