In Mesopotamian myth, Enkidu is a feral man created by the goddess Aruru. A prostitute, Shamhat, is sent to civilize him, & teaches him human speech. He learns how to act human from watching shepherds, & later befriends the legendary King Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh.

The major hero in ancient Mesopotamian mythology and the protagonist of the Epic of Gilgamesh, an epic poem written in Akkadian during the late 2nd millennium BC. He was likely a historical king of the Sumerian city-state of Uruk, who was posthumously deified.
