Gilgamesh

The Epic of Gilgamesh is an epic poem from ancient Mesopotamia and is among the earliest known works of fiction.

In this ancient saga Gilgamesh destroys the bull of heaven with the help of Enkidu - his wild part-stone mate who was created as his equal. There's this other character called Utnapishtim, another called Humbaba (a demon-orge protecting the cedar forests) and a grumpy love-goddess called Ishtar.

I only bring these names up because I know lots of people my age are having babies and I reckon there needs to be a new baby-name rennaissance from the old days.

over and out.
