"gilgamesh and agga" describes gilgamesh's successful revolt against his overlord agga, the king of the city-state of kish. "gilgamesh and huwawa" describes how gilgamesh and his servant enkidu, aided by the help of fifty volunteers from uruk, defeat the monster huwawa, an ogre appointed by the god enlil, the ruler of the gods, as the guardian of the cedar forest. in "gilgamesh and the bull of heaven", gilgamesh and enkidu slay the bull of heaven, who has been sent to attack them by the goddess inanna. the plot of this poem differs substantially from the corresponding scene in the later akkadian "epic of gilgamesh". in the sumerian poem, inanna does not seem to ask gilgamesh to become her consort as she does in the later akkadian epic. furthermore, while she is coercing her father an to give her the bull of heaven, rather than threatening to raise the dead to eat the living as she does in the later epic, she merely threatens to let out a "cry" that will reach the earth. a poem known as the "death of gilgamesh" is very poorly preserved, but appears to describe a major state funeral followed by the arrival of the deceased in the underworld. it is possible that the modern scholars who gave the poem its title may have misinterpreted it, and the poem may actually be about the death of enkidu.
