Answer: Gilgamesh realizes and accepts that he is mortal
Explanation: The Gilgamesh Epic is the oldest written epic, considered by some to be, to some extent, not entirely, related to the historical Gilgamesh that ruled during the Sumerian civilization. Gilgamesh in pursuit of immortality goes to the old and wise Utnapishtim, who survived the great flood and became immortal. Utnapishtim seems to be the Noah character in the Bible. After all these questions about immortality, Gilgamesh realizes that he must rule as a just and wise king, but that he will not attain immortality.
