The Epic of Gilgamesh

In class when we all were examining and talking about The Epic of Gilgamesh it was very interesting to see how people read and reacted towards the story.  It was really neat how everyone interrupted the beast and how he would act.  Everyones stories were pretty cool as well because every group added their own little flare to the story.  It is hard to believe that people actually acted like that back in the days because it is very possible to think that humans could have been that primitive.  We all know that people weren't always the smartest, so to read the story about how early people were able to tame and convert a primitive being like Enkidu to a normal human like themselves was just fascinating.  I myself wonder how Enkidu really did look and see for myself the ways that he really acted because I think that it would be rather interesting to see a primitive beast turn human.  For me it is just kind of hard to picture in my mind this sort of event taking place.
