Tablet 10 of Gilgamesh

Gilgamesh meets Siduri the tavern keeper and explains the purpose of his travels. He is still questioning his death, "Must I die too? Must Gilgamesh be like that?" It seems as if Gilgamesh has morphed himself into Enkidu. Not literally, but he is now hairy bodied and wearing animal skins. Siduri tells Gilgamesh that only, the sun god, has crossed the sea to see Utnapishtim. She tells him that nobody else has made it alive, but Gilgamesh, being two thirds god, accomplishes it. After crossing the sea an old man tells Gilgamesh that no man can beat death and that it has no known time.
