The two significant epics in West African history are the "Epic of Sundiata" and the "Epic of Gilgamesh." The "Epic of Sundiata" narrates the life and achievements of Sundiata Keita, the founder of the Mali Empire, highlighting themes of destiny, heroism, and the struggle against adversity. The "Epic of Gilgamesh," while originating from Mesopotamia, has influenced West African storytelling traditions and reflects universal themes of friendship, mortality, and the quest for wisdom. Both epics underscore the rich oral traditions and cultural heritage of the region.
