 In the Sumerian poem of "Gilgamesh and Huwawa", the hero Gilgamesh asks Utu to assist him in his journey to the Cedar Mountain.In this version, Gilgamesh asks Utu's help because Utu is associated with the Cedar Mountain, which is implied to be located in the far east, the land where the sun rises.Utu is initially reluctant to help, but, after Gilgamesh explains that he is doing this because he intends to establish his name, because he knows he will eventually die, Utu agrees.
