(gcide) | Capitolian \Cap`i*to"li*an\, Capitoline \Cap"i*to*line\, a. [L.
capitolinus: cf. F. capitolin.]
Of or pertaining to the Capitol in Rome. "Capitolian Jove."
--Macaulay.
[1913 Webster]
Capitoline games (Antiq.), annual games instituted at Rome
by Camillus, in honor of Jupiter Capitolinus, on account
of the preservation of the Capitol from the Gauls; when

Epic of Gilgamesh
(gcide) | Gilgamesh \Gilgamesh\, Gilgamish \Gilgamish\prop. n.
1. (Sumerian mythology) A legendary king of Sumeria and the
hero of famous Sumerian and Babylonian epics.
[WordNet 1.5]
2. The Epic of Gilgamesh, a long Babylonian epic written in
cuneiform in the Sumerian language on clay tablets. Early
versions of the written story date from 2000 B. C.; it is
probably the first written story still in existence. A
longer version was written in the Akkadian language, on 12
clay tablets found at Nineveh in the ruins of the library
of Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria from 669 to 633 B. C. The
story depicted the life and heroic deeds of the legendary
Gilgamesh, apparently derived from stories about a real
king of ancient Mesopotamia who lived around 2700 B. C.
The story includes a tale of a great flood, which has some
parallels to the biblical story of the flood survived by
Noah. The Nineveh tablets name the author of that version
of the story, a Shin-eqi-unninni.
