Gilgamesh urges Enkidu to forget death and seek life, invoking the wisdom that the careful man must be cautious but not paralyzed by fear. He quotes the proverb: "Let him who goes first be on guard for himself and bring his comrade to safety!" and declares that it is they who made a name for days long in the future.
"‘Forget death and seek life’—to live, one must stop fearing death. That's the hero's creed."

Before Homer's Odyssey.. let's start with The Epic of Gilgamesh.. the oldest epic of humanity
It's very poetic, I liked the dynamics like how the Enkidu and Gilgamesh were rivals before but later on become companions and I already got the spoiler thanks to google search... Elegant story, must read
