moonsheen"You will love him as a woman and he will never forsake you"
...This is me not thinking of Gilgamesh/Enkidu slash. This is me really not thinking of Gilgamesh/Enkidu slash. This is me failing miserably.
Oddly enough, my favorite bit in this has to be Ishtar and Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh, there are tactful ways to dump a goddess, listing every one of her atrocities against former lovers is not one of them. Ishtar's resulting hissy fit is rather fun, though
...And then Enkidu dies. Damnit, I liked him. Much more interesting than our Brave Hero. I like the whole 'tamed animal' origins. The Harlot, incidently, is my favorite female in the text.
