A fragmentary text describes this mythological figure near the sea coast running toward a tree that has diamonds and crystals Â– which may be antimony Â– growing on it. This hero encounters two scorpion men at a mountain before crossing under that mountain for ten days. He then has a long conversation with an alewife about crossing the waters of death. Near the end of one work in which this figure appears, a plant belonging to this hero is devoured by a snake, which subsequently sheds its skin. This hero was not able to stay awake for seven days, as evidenced by a certain figure baking bread daily for him, so that when this character awakes, he can observe the rotting. Earlier, this man and his friend had travelled to Cedar Forest to kill a monster sacred to Enlil. For 10 points, identify this king that is the slayer of Humbaba, the names
