Gilgamesh vs. Sherlock Holmes

In my advanced composition last semester one of the students did a report on the comparisson between Gilgamesh and Sherlock Holmes. I had never read Gilgamesh before but it seemed interesting. Having now read it, I find this to be a very cool connection. The idea of the apprentice keeping the head person humble and more clear headed. The issues that the pair need to solve together. I guess the relationship between the main character and their assistent is what is most interesting. Ill go into more detail in another post since I need to get to campus but I wanted to get this at least out there before my thunder was stolen.
