The heros of the Sumerian mythology are as follows:
Atrahasis (Utnapishitim): Atrahasis was a wise man warned by the sea God Enki of an impending flood disaster causing Atrahasis to build an ark with his family carrying seeds and animals with him, the sky God Enlil who ordered the flood is initially enraged that Atrahasis and his family have survived but makes Atrahasis and his wife immortal agreeing to deal with mankind in kinder ways in the future. In later myths the hero-king Gilgamesh seeks Atrahasis out seeking to learn the secrets of immortality.
Adapa: Adapa was an Apkallu of the sea and servant of the sea God Enki. Adapa was the first of the seven Apkallu sages sent by Enlil and Enki to teach humanity, Adapa taught religious practices and observances. Adapa broke the wings of the wind Goddess Ninlil in a dispute after Ninlil had overturned Adapa’s fishing boat, as consequence Adapa was summoned before the Anunnaki to answer for his crimes, he had been warned by the God Ea to be humble and appologise but not to eat any of the food in the realm of the Gods as it would be the food of death however unknown to Adapa, moved by his humility the Gods offered Adapa the life giving food of immortality which he refused heading Ea’s advice.
Bine: Bine was a carpenter who made wings for demons out of the souls they had collected so that the demons could ascend from hell. Eventually Bine was made a guardian of the underworld. This is one of the earliest mythologies describing demons as collectors of souls.
Dimuzid - The Shepherd: (Often confused with another Sumerian King - Dimuzid the fisherman) Dimuzid was king of Sumeria who was said to have ruled for 36,000 years he would later also have been deified as the vegetation God Tammuz. After Ishtar is freed from the underworld she is accompanied by an unwanted entourage of Gallu demons who insist on taking a notable person back to the underworld in her place by way of equal exchange, a soul for a soul. Ishtar manages to disuade them from taking the rulers of Umma abd Bad-tibira who are poverty stricken, however when arriving in Uruk they find Dimuzid lives in luxary, not mourning his wife Ishtar’s absence and flirting with courtesans, the Gallu immediately sieze him and Ishtar gives him over to them as her substitute, the Gallu proceed to violate Dimuzid but he escapes to the home of his sister Ngeshtin-ana (Geshtinanna). The demons persue Dimuzid there and eventually find him hiding in a pasture where they drag him back to the underworld of Irkalla. In a different account Dimuzid dreams he will be killed and his sister informs him it is prophecy as soon as she says this Gallu demons arrive for him and he escapes from them several times before arriving at the house of old woman Bilulu where he is killed. In some versions Bilulu is a courtesan of Dimuzid and she is killed by Ishtar out of jealousy.
Enkidu: Often depicted as bull-headed Enkidu is a wildman created by Enki to curb Gilgamesh’s arrogance for Enkidu was as strong as Gilgamesh. Enkidu is seduced by the Hierodule (sacred temple prostitute) Shamhat under the order of Gilgamesh and is bought into society where he wrestles with Gilgamesh over the way Gilgamesh mistreats his subjects, he then convinces Gilgamesh to go on an adventure to kill the demon Humbaba. Enkidu also travels to the underworld to retrieve items Gilgamesh drops there where he becomes a shade telling Gilgamesh of the horrors of the afterlife or is otherwise struck dead after being cursed for killing the bull of heaven, in any case the death of Enkidu spurs Gilgamesh to seek out a means of becoming immortal.
Gilgamesh: Gilgamesh (as depicted in the above image) was the king of Uruk and was said to be one-third divine gifted with incredible strength (nephilim), Gilgamesh was a tyrant and was known to exhaust men with games, tests of strength and forced labour while oppressing women by forcing them to sleep with him on their wedding night. The people called out to the Gods who created Enkidu as equal to Gilgamesh in strength. A trapper spots Enkidu who is causing him issues and tells Gilgamesh who in turn sends the hierodule Shamhat to seduce Enkidu, after sleeping with him for several days Shamhat brings Enkidu to a shepherd camp to learn to be civilised, here Enkidu is introduced to a human diet and becomes the night watchman. Learning from a passing stranger about Gilgamesh’s treatment of new brides, Enkidu is enraged and travels to Uruk to intervene at a wedding. When Gilgamesh attempts to visit the wedding chamber Enkidu blocks his path and the two fight. After a fierce battle Enkidu acknowledges Gilgamesh’s superior strength and the two become friends, they agree to a journey to the cedar forest to slay the demonic demi-god Humbaba in order to gain fame and renown. The pair are warned by the council of elders and Gilgamesh visits his mother the Goddess Ninsun who graunts the protection of the sun God Shamash for their quest. Ninsun adopts Enkidu as her son and Gilgamesh leaves instructions for the governing of Uruk in his absence. Gilgamesh and Enkidu journey to the cedar forest and every few days camp on a mountain to perform a dream ritual. Gilgamesh has terrifying dreams about falling mountains, thunderstorms, wild bulls and a thunder bird that breaths fire, despite similarities between these dream figures and the demon Humbaba, Enkidu interprets these dreams as good omens and denies that they represent the forest guardian so as to ease Gilgamesh’s fear. As they approach the cedar woods they hear Hubaba bellowing and have to encourage eachother not to be afraid. As they enter Humbaba threatens and insults them, he accuses Enkidu of betrayal and vows to dismember Gilgamesh and feed his entrails to birds. Gilgamesh and Enkidu charge at Humbaba, the mountains shake, the sky turns black and the sun God Shamash sends 13 winds to bind Humbaba capturing him. Humbaba pleads for his life and Gilgamesh pities him, Enkidu however is enraged and tells Gilgamesh to kill the beast. Humbaba curses them both before Gilgamesh kills him with a blow to the neck. The two then cut down many cedar trees including a gigantic tree that Enkidu plans to fashion into a gate for the temple of Enlil. They build a raft and return home along the Euphrates with the giant tree and the head of Humbaba. Gilgamesh and Enkidu then come across the Goddess Ishtar who is weeping over a tree she has planted that is inhabbited by evil spirits, Gilgamesh drives these forces out and to show thanks Ishtar fashions him a “Pukku” and “Mikku” (probably a drum and drumstick) out of the tree. Ishtar then attempts to seduce Gilgamesh who rebukes her speaking of the lovers she has abused. Furious Ishtar asks the sky God Anu to unleash the bull of heaven Gugulana on them. Gilgamesh drops loses his Pukku and Mikku in the underworld where Enkidu travels to reclaim them in some myths Enkidu becomes a shade telling Gilgamesh of the horrors of the underworld before fading away while in others the Gods open the underworld to allow Enkidu to return and tell Gilgamesh of his terrible experiences. Ishtar leads Gugulana to Uruk where it causes destruction drying up the Euphrates river and surrounding marshland and creating a pit that swallows 300 men. Enkidu and Gilgamesh slay the bull which the Gods then place into the heavens as the constellation of Taurus. They offer the heart of the bull up to the sun God Shamash and Ishtar wails causing Enkidu to throw a remnant of the bull at her. Enkidu then has prophetic dreams that a terrible bird will carry him to the underworld and the Gods curse him to die....
