works of literature that give historians information about early civilizations
If you're asking for the name of an epic with two main characters then try the "Epic of Gilgamesh" which has Gilgamesh and Enkidu or "Mahabharata's Sarpasattra" which has Dhrtarashtra and Janamejaya.
The Gilgamesh Epic, the Mahabharata, and the Ramayana are all very old and undated. I think which is oldest might be debatable.
Some epic stories similar to Beowulf include "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey" by Homer, "Gilgamesh," and "The Song of Roland." These stories all feature heroic adventures, battles with supernatural beings, and themes of honor, loyalty, and valor.
The Iliad and the Epic of Gilgamesh are all origin stories from some of humanity's most established civilizations.

One of the earliest known authors and poets was Enheduanna, high priestess of Akkadia (Assyria) from 2285-2250 BC. Other early poetry includes the Epic of Gilgamesh around 2000 B.C. and of course Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey" around 800 B.C.
Yes, in the Epic of Gilgamesh, the character Gilgamesh does die at the end of the story.
Certainly the story of Noah's Flood is remarkably similar to the Flood story of Umapishtim in the much older Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh. On that evidence, the Epic of Gilgamesh is the most likely source for the story of Noah's Flood.
The only similar word is "odyssey" (a journey) from Homer's epic The Odyssey.
