Gilgamesh was an historical King of Uruk in Babylonia on the River Euphrates in modern Iraq. There he lived in 2700 B.C. and even though historians tend to emphasize on the Hammurabi and his code of law, the civilization of the Tigris-Euphrates's area, focus rather on Gilgamesh and the legends around him.

The same could apply to those of tennis players and the legends that they leave in their wake and their games. Glory and euphoria of each stories and sometimes individuals mostly those that watch would centralization the nature of these heroic games.

However, to those that play the game they do not characterization themselves as heroes. To them the game was life and living in it was all that mattered for who in their lubricious mind would consider them battling for human welfare and other incredible nonconsensual ideology.

Then again when someone approached someone such as Echizen Ryoma asking him why he play tennis. The now older teenager would reply, "Why ever not?"
