Gilgamesh and Lilith, two different books by the same female author
Both books came out in the last 10-15 years or so (late 90's early 2000's) and both were written by the same female author (this is why I've listed both here under a single question).
The first book (told in first person) is about Gilgamesh (the name Gilgamesh is not in the book title) and he tells his story from when he was a child far in the past and continues to the present day and then into the far future when the earth has been swallowed by the sun and he is just a disembodied mind.
The second is about Lilith (name Lilith is again not in the book title) and on this one I'm much more vague on the overall story, sorry. I believe that this one is also told in the first person.
From what I remember, the books aren't connected as part of a series, they are both single self contained novels.
I got both books from the library (I read the Gilgamesh one first and liked it, so I looked for more by that author and found the Lilith one) in the past 10 years and neither book was very old when I got them. A search online just gets me books with Gilgamesh and Lilith in the titles.

This answer only fits some parts of your question, but Janet Morris had a multi-author series involving a bunch of heroes, including Gilgamesh. The series was called Heroes in Hell. It included the Hugo Award winning story Gilgamesh in the Outback by Robert Silverberg.
So..female author, about Gilgamesh, came out in 1986. I can't confirm that Lilith is in there though. Also, you said non-series, which does not fit my answer.
its not the Silverberg story, thanks, il keep searching

Well Organic Marble has guided in the right track. The answer is Janet Morris's (writer and or editor) books.
Janet Morris' s Heroes In Hell project is a shared world premise of all mythical heroes and heroines. Gilgamesh is one of the many important characters in it. So is Lilith.
Gilgamesh stars in - "Rebels in Hell" anthology. As showcased by Organic
Marble, Gilgamesh in the Outback by Robert Silverberg. Reference link of wiki for your reference.
Lilith stars in - "Poets in Hell" anthology. When You Gaze Into an Abyss by Matthew
Kirshenblatt. You can refer to the authors page here.
So in reality it is a multi author project headed by Janet Morris, who in fact is the editor. So the books have her name as titled "Created By". All the books are self contained, separate novels and anthologies, just sharing the same universe.
The cover of the book Poets in Hell is given below --
no its not this, thanks though. They are definitely 2 seperate novels

This is a long shot so I'm not putting it as an answer, but Brenna Yovanoff wrote a book this century called The Space Between which features Lilith as a major player (she's the protagonist's mother). Could it be that? brennayovanoff.com/the-space-between
