Gilgamesh the Hero is Geraldine McCaughrean’s retelling of the oldest story in the West—the Epic of Gilgamesh.

Encounter Gilgamesh and his best friend, the wild man Enkidu, as they search for the meaning of life. All Study Guides include vocabulary words, comprehension questions, and Christian-worldview-based discussion questions.

Parental Warning:

The second chapter includes a scene where a naked dancing girl seduces Enkidu, the Wild Man. Details of the seduction are capped at her giving him kisses, but it is clearly presented, in word and in cartoon illustration (back view) that she is unclothed.
