The Epic of Gilgamesh is comprised of a story that shows how a man that is made mostly of God-like powers. Due to the way he treats his people a wild man is created named Enkidu to become his rival who was to have great strength but because he submitted to a woman he lost all his powers. Then the two meet and become great friends. From here on the Gilgamesh and Enkidu fight and defeat the demon Humbaba and the Bull of Heaven but they have to suffer the consequences of what they have done. Shortly after defeating these two monsters Enkidu falls ill and dies leaving Gilgamesh torn and lost. He seeks out eternal life but is unable to open it.
The Code of Hammurabi is one that is made up of laws that governed the society during that time. There were rules and laws the citizens had to follow or be punished for any wrong doing. Here is where one could say there is a tie in between the Code of Hammurabi and the rules of Netiquette. Whether it is through person to person interactions or an interaction between people on the internet there are rules that much be followed. If one does not follow those rules they will have to suffer the consequences of their actions.
