How Gilgamesh Defeated Mighty King Agga Of Kish
A. Sutherland – AncientPages.com – ‘Epic of Gilgamesh’ is not the first literary source that mentions the name ‘Gilgamesh’, who was the fifth ruler of the dynasty of Uruk and a demigod with superhuman strength that helped him to build the defensive walls of Uruk.
According to the Sumerian King List, he ruled the city of Uruk for 126 years.
One old legend “Gilgamesh and Agga of Kish’ mentions Gilgamesh – long before the famous epic. The legend is a short Sumerian story devoted to an armed confrontation between the two contemporary kings Gilgamesh of Uruk and Agga of Kish (also referred to as Akka of Kish).
