a boat for the flood
Utnapishtim survived when he was told to build a boat, its length as great as its width.
Enlil was angry because no man was meant to survive the destruction. Ea had heard the great gods decide to produce the flood and had told Utnapishtim to tear down his house and build a ship, and to take on the ship the seed of all living things.

Utnapishtim survived when he was told to build a boat, its length as great as its width.
The god Enki warned Utnapishtim of the great flood that would destroy humanity. Enki secretly revealed the gods' plans to Utnapishtim, advising him to build an ark to save himself, his family, and various animals from the impending disaster.
In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the flood was sent by the gods to wipe out humanity. Utnapishtim was warned of the flood by the god Ea, who told him to build a boat to save himself, his family, and some animals. After the flood subsided, the boat came to rest on Mount Nisir, where Utnapishtim and his companions found land.
In the Epic of Gilgamesh (not in the Book of Genesis), Ea heard the great gods decide to produce the flood, and told Utnapishtim to tear down his house and build a ship to save his family and the seed of all living things.
Utnapishtim
Utnapishtim escapes death by building a boat as instructed by the god Ea, and loading it with animals and his family. When a great flood comes, Utnapishtim and his companions are saved while the rest of humanity perishes.
Utnapishtim directs Gilgamesh to the location of a magical plant that has rejuvenating powers.
Utnapishtim was warned that the gods would destroy humanity. He was told to build a boat and to take on board the seed of all living things. Utnapishtim was the only individual "chosen" by Ea but he also took wild and domestic animals, his family, his relatives, craftsmen and a helmsman on board the boat.
YESSSSSS Utnapishtim is a hero in the story of the flood if that is what you're asking...!!:)
Gilgamesh, in his search for immortality, sought and found Utnapishtim, whom they call the Faraway. Utnapishtim said he would tell Gilgamesh a hidden matter, a secret of the gods. Utnapishtim then proceeded to tell Gilgamesh about the flood.
This is in the Epic of Gilgamesh which has a flood story that is similar to the Noahic Flood in Genesis. Utnapishtim apparently overheard the gods discussing making the flood on man. Utnapishtim advises Gilgamesh.
Ea, a god, warned Utnapishtim of the flood. He told him to build a large ark and to fill it with every kind of animal, male and female. Utnapishtim, his family, and the animals remained on the boat until the flood was over. -Correction. They were warned, but warned to build a boat. The ark was built in the story of Noah's Ark. Also, only he, Utnapishism, and his wife were allowed to board the boat. No one else had entered. Don't worry, I'm not guessing this, this came straight out of a text book, so the information provided is pretty accurate. :)
