They're all ripoff of Dune anyway, which is ultimately a space themed ripoff of the legend/myth/folklore tale of King Arthur, which ultimately through various retellings and copies of copies of other stories takes you back to the epic of Gilgamesh.
So basically all modern stories are just a 5000 year old game of telephone for Gilgamesh.
So uhhh..... Checkmate atheists?
Man, Enkidu gets no respect. Gil would be a shadow of his former glory without the Kid.
"The Epic of Gilgamesh and Enkidu" doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well.
Without Enkidu, Gilgamesh would not be remembered well.
There is only one story.
