What is the significance of Gilgamesh's tyranny and his fighting against gods and goddess?

Question

From the Epic of Gilgamesh.

Answer 1

Gilgamesh only fought men tyrants in his epic and the significance of the battles is that he changed from his bully ways while other giants didn't. The epic of Gilgamesh is a really good story.

Answer 2

Think of Gilgamesh's journey as a journey of self, and Enkidu as that part of himself that was murdered, death of an idea or belief or innocence of the self.  And if you take the gods and goddesses as a form of the powers that live within all of us, it is the journey of the hero that overcomes self, and to do that change must occur, which means battles and wars and death over those ideas or beliefs.

Answer 3

he blamed the gods for the death of his friend & sought to reap revenge by wiping out the followers of the gods
