The Behavior of Heroes
The epic tales of “Gilgamesh” and “The Iliad” initially seem to hold little in
common with each other. ... An additional
similarity between the two heroes is that Achilles’ mind is still completely human. ...
An even more surprising similarity between the two heroes is that they both
contain similar short-comings. The heroes both seem to be lacking in moral integrity. ... Perhaps Achilles has realized that his immature behavior was a hindrance on his
moral character. ...
Surprisingly enough, both heroes learned this lesson only after someone they
dearly loved had died. Both heroes achieved divine mind and spirit in the form of ethics
and morals, after starting their tales as morally bereft and spoiled brats.
