In Sumer it was King Lugulbanda, with assistance from the god Gilgamesh [Orion], who fought the Sumerian theological battle with the followers of Taurus and became the first Sumerian Shepherd King.

THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH www.aina.org/books/eog/eog.pdf www.world-mysteries.com/gw_rellis7.htm Gilgamesh is the ancient Sumerian epic, written some 4,000 years ago on cuneiform clay tablets and rediscovered only in the nineteenth century. It is a story that has echoes of the biblical Old Testament, with its graphic details of the flood and the formation of mankind from the dust of the earth.
