immortality and seeking to escape death
are one of the most important intellectuall

to early human life. Human being ,in the
way of finding a solution for immortality
and realization of his dream , has done
narration and manifested this dream in
religious and national and mythological
characters who are in literary and art works
of various human civilization and cultures.
The most clear Mesopotamia mythological
character is Gillgamesh who did travel
to discover mystery of immortality and
finally got. This narration has manifested
in different formats because of specific
features in various human culturs.
At this text we pay more attension to

in order to investigate the narration in two
diffrent culture based on new approaches
including monomyth theory and with
analytical – comparative method . We
have chosen two pictures from the first
and latest illustrated versions in order
to find the status of pictures according to
Campbell hero - s pattern and finally to
study the reason of their status and get the
view of those illustrators about death. Our
