Another good quality is when a king is able to be present amongst the lower class. Its good for a leader to treat their citizens like equals.

Honesty is considered a good quality to have, especially when its a king that is governing a whole. If a king is not honest they could potentially be over ruled or over thrown.

A king that has many experience will have a better ability to solve a problem. For example, kings would usually try to predict what the enemy is planning in battle before deploying his troops. He does this by using past experiences from either the same or different enemy.

There are times when the people will call the king to action. Usually towards the restoration of an important monument or defense.

Many leaders are forced to show their authority in order to maintain stability.

This is introduced early. Gilgamesh has basically been declared king from the beginning. In fact, "fortress they called him, protector of the people, raging flood that destroys all defenses" (Mitchell 71). Also when Gilgamesh was created, "the goddess Aruru, mother of creation, had designed his body, had made him the strongest of men- huge, handsome, radiant, perfect" (Mitchell 72).

For Gilgamesh he was wise in adventure. He knew how to cross the world. "he opened the mountain passes, dug wells on the slopes, crossed the vast ocean, sailed to the rising sun, journeyed to the edge of the world, in search of eternal life, and once he found Utnapishtim- the man who survived the Great Flood and was made immortal" (Mitchell 71)

These tablets depict King Gilgamesh in the city of Uruk. However, he is not completely depicted as a good leader or king.

The Gilgamesh of the poems and of the epic tablets ruled at Uruk in southern Mesopotamia sometime during the first half of the 3rd millennium B.C.E he came off as a young cocky and a bit self absorbed  ruler who was successful in being a king but still he wasnt the best king.

From this Tablet we learn of Gilgamesh s' restoration of the infrastructure of the amazing city. For example, in book one "he brought back the ancient, forgotten rites, restoring the temples that the Flood had destroyed, renewing the statutes and sacraments for the welfare of the people" (Mitchell 72).

In book one Gilgamesh does not poses this quality. This is shown in the quote, "The city is his possession, he struts through it, arrogant, his head raised high, trampling its citizens like a wild bull" (Mitchell 72).

Technically Gilgamesh meets many of these characteristics. However, through his success in restoring Uruk and becoming king, he had become arrogant causing his citizens to call on the gods for help. Eventually Gilgamesh does seem to become more humble as Enkidu is introduced, but in the first book he is not humble.

I think Gilgamesh was kind of a bad king. Through his success his attitude towards life and his citizens changed. He became hostile towards his own citizens.

Even though we couldn't find a quote, it can be inferred that Gilgamesh was an honest king. He is almost never depicted as a liar in book one. He seems to stay truthful throughout all the books
