The most extensive extant text of this work was found at Ninevah in the library of Ashurbanipal. Much of the story of the titular character's battle with Humbaba is missing from surviving versions. During the course of his adventures, this leader of Uruk rejects the marriage proposal of the goddess of love, slays a bull, finds Utnapishtim, and sees a snake steal the plant that would restore his youth. For ten points, name this Babylonian epic, which gets its name from a friend of Enkidu and the beloved of Ishtar.
