According to the [[Sumerian king list]], '''Gilgameš''' was the son of [[Lugalbanda]] and the fifth king of [[Uruk]] (Early Dynastic II, first dynasty of Uruk). He ruled circa [[2600 BC]]. He became the central character in the ''[[Epic of Gilgamesh]]'' - one of the best known works of early literature, which says that his mother was [[Ninsun]] (whom some call Rimat Ninsun), a goddess. Gilgamesh is described as two thirds god and one third human.
