Wow, apparently I forgot A LOT besides the latter half of the tale with Ishtar's spite, saying goodbye to Enkidu and the reason behind Utnapishtim and his wife's immortality... I did get a laugh on the unicorn's fate though (nothing like black comedy). Headcannon accepted!
The mind boggles a little at the idea that we have stories from potentially 100,000 years ago!
Interesting bit of trivia, the Fate/Stay Night design for Gilgamesh is a reference to the design/artwork of the player character of the same name from the 1984 arcade game The Tower of Druaga. For Alexander, I've got nothing, though they did hang a lampshade on the fact that he looks nothing like he's supposed to in both the Fate/Zero light novels and anime where he first shows up.
