Lugalbanda is the oldest known written story, predating even the epic of Gilgamesh. Lugalbanda’s courage, native kindness, and prescience contribute to his heroism. Grievously ill, he is left behind in the wilderness while his brothers’ army marches to war. UPon his recovery, Lugalbanda tames the fearsome Anzu bird with its teeth of a shark and talons of an eagle and persuades the monster to grant him supernatural strength and speed. In return, the prince promises that his people will venerate the Anzu bird in perpetuity. (from School Library Journal April, 2006)
