Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and the Netherworld
Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and the Netherworld is a Sumerian poem pre-dating The Epic of Gilgamesh and featuring its central characters. It is sometimes included in modern-day translations as Book 12 but is usually omitted as it does not fit the narrative form of the epic’s storyline. It is famous for its depiction of souls in the afterlife.

I hope it’s also famous for Gilgamesh losing his ball in the Underworld and being mightily upset about it. XD
