Finding of Enkidu
One day he could not believe he saw a hunter hunting in the forest. He was rubbing his eyes, ” Am I seeing it wrong?” No, it wasn’t wrong. He saw a creature whose body was covered with clay, walking on two legs with various animals around him. What could that be? The monkeys could also walk on two legs , but they had tails. This could not be a monkey.
Even the lions next to your creature were like friends with him. The hunter had set up traps to catch animals near the chirpy pinar. “The animals come here to drink water anyway, so I can catch them” he said. But what happens! Doesn’t the creature rip out the traps it has set up? The hunter’s mouth fell open.
He did not know what to do out of the lurking. Hos, what could he do to so many beasts and this mighty creature! He was watching the situation, trying not to show himself. After the traps were removed, they all approached the fountain and started drinking water. The creature drank water and ate grass just like them . The hunter was trembling with fear, he could not shake his place, and he could not help observing them . He finally decided, this creature was a human being. Yes, he was a person. But how powerful it looked. The hunter was very afraid of meeting him. He waited quietly for them to leave where he was. After they all dived into the water, they turned around and started going in the direction they came from . He, too, tried not to show himself to them and started running. He was out of breath when he got to where they sat. Welcoming him, his father guessed that his son was in unexpected danger when he saw that his son was returning from the hunt, empty but with great fear and astonishment . He immediately said, “What happened to you? What was it that made you so scared and confused ?” asked one after another.
Hunter. He said, “Dad, let me get back to myself, I will tell you all.” After some rest , he began to explain what he had seen with great curiosity in order not to make his father wait any longer : “I was setting up his traps for hunting, watching for the animals to be caught . Suddenly I saw many animals in herds coming to the place where I set the hunting traps . There was also a creature whose beard was mixed with each other and his body was covered with clay. The first thing was to break the traps I had set up. Then they started drinking water from the pinar. That creature also drank the water like animals and ate grass like them. The animals next to him were like friends to him. I watched. I think he was a creature, but a real wild person. I was very afraid of him. Father, if you see it , you will agree with me. ”The hunter’s father was also very curious. He wanted to go and see him immediately . But they had to wait the next day. The next day the father and his son set off with great excitement. and they began to wait, hiding behind trees, not showing themselves.
Avci suddenly said, “Father, they’re coming!” said. Indeed, from afar, a lot of animals were walking towards the pinara . They both started watching them, trying not to get a fence. The wild man first looked at the ground and found the traps the hunter had set up and broke them with all his might.
Then all of a sudden they came to the pinara and drank the water and went to where they came from, in great joy .
The hunter’s father said, “My son is right, you are surprised and afraid. This creature is a person I have never met before .” Suddenly the man said, “My son, look what came to my mind. You know our king Gilgames does not have a strong friend like him. He does not know what to do with his boredom. He has fun day and night with the drums, but the public is very uncomfortable. This man may be a friend to him. ” said.
Hunter. “Dad. How about it. This wild man has been friends with animals. Can he ever have friends with people ?”
“My son, who can be friends with animals, why not with humans. It is only necessary to educate him, feed him like a human being and make him human .”
“Daddy, who can do this, can we humanize him?”
“No son, only a woman can bend him. You know, mothers can train their children from the moment they are born. Our mothers have always taught us to talk, eat, drink, love, laugh. That is why only a woman can train this man.” “Father, where will we find such an ancient?” “Son, you speak as if you know nothing. Have you never been to the temple of our Goddess Inanna ! There are many nuns who can do that. Especially the nuns who teach men sexually do it perfectly. Go to Uruk for her. Eanna Temple”
Find your sister-in-law, tell her about the situation. He will give you an educational nun. Now get on the road and find such a person without delay, “he said.
Avci set off immediately. As her father said, she went to the temple and found the sister-in-law and explained why she came and what she wanted. After some thought, the Abbess said, “I have found, I ‘ll give you Samhat who can do this job best. She is beautiful, clever, and also very beautiful and sings.”
Samhat was informed. The situation was explained to him. He accepted the job without saying “I can’t”. The hunter was watching the paintings on the walls and the mosaics on the columns while waiting for him to be prepared and come.
How well done they were. The lower parts of the walls are painted white in wide strips ; On the upper part of it, pictures of animals and people were painted in red and yellow colors. He had seen before how the various mosaics were made on the columns, and he was amazed at how this was conceived. The clay was made like big nails, the head was painted in yellow- red colors like the paintings on the wall, and the column, which had not yet dried, was inserted in various geometric shapes. Thousands of nails were needed for this, of course. The walls and columns of the temple were always made of adobe. There was no stone in this country. What methods did the Sumerian artists come up with to cover the dirty appearance of the adobe . Inside the temple Civil civilized with priests, nuns and people praying and bringing sacrifices to the gods. Priests and nuns had their own unique dress. The red clothes of the sinful priests and the headscarves of the nuns who taught men sexual life were very noticeable. Liquids such as beer, wine, milk, oil to be offered to the gods were lined up in cubes.
Foods such as meat, cheese, and bread were placed on a table stretching all along. They were gathered a little later, placed on the mudbrick altar in front of the God statues , then taken to the kitchen of the temple. The smells of burning incense, the sounds of distant music made the hunter forget the time. Seeing the Bas-nun coming towards him with a young nun , he immediately stood up. “Samhat is capable of doing what is desired best ,” said the Bas nun . When he saw Avci Samhat, he almost swallowed his tongue. She wasn’t the nun she’d seen before . How has it changed! First, he caught sight of the big lyre in his hand. There was a bull head at the ends of the places where the lyre strings were attached. From behind to the nun in a flash He looked from head to foot. He was dressed in a blend of green and red colors that caught the eyes of the human being, and he wore an open shoulder. In this dress made of tulle-like fabric , the plump body of the nun was clearly visible. He wore sandals on his feet , bare to the knees . My long black hair had let out on his shoulders, tied them in a tie around his forehead. Her eyes glistened brightly beneath her thick black muscles, as if they were wise. As the hunter watched for a moment, the nun affectionately said to her, “Let’s go,” she recovered . They immediately set out. He recounted the hunters on the way and the task that awaited him . It could also be a thousand and one dangers. But Samhat is the last to himself “Don’t worry, everything will be fine,” he said, extremely confident. Sister, how beautiful she was , how charming she was. He had a sweet smile. Her pearly white teeth could be seen through her lips , which seemed painted when she laughed. The hunter was fascinated by him. Speaking to talk to after a long journey you’ve done, came the father of the field y hunter. From there they all went to the sino.
They seated Samhat under a tree so that the people who came to the pinara could not see him. They offered him to play and sing the best songs. The weather was very nice. The sun was shedding its lights into the forest among the trees , the birds were living a civil civil. Samhat took his lyre and began to play and sing a hymn written for the goddess Inanna , expressing her love and affection. Samhat’s voice was so beautiful that even the birds were listening to him and accompanying him with their civilties.
The forest was moaning with these sounds. An incredible year had begun. Avci suddenly said to his father, “They’re coming!” said. They, too, were hidden behind another tree. The wild man in the middle, the small and large animals around him were getting closer to the pinara. They all seemed friendly, from rabbit to lion. Again, the wild man was watching the ground for traps, plucking what he found and throwing it away. What is that! Suddenly the stranger was stuck where he was. Where did that sound come from? He was listening. All the animals are in their places with her
They stopped and started to listen to the melodies of the lyre interfering with his voice. The situation was unbelievable. Samhat was invisible because he was sitting behind a thick tree. The stranger began to examine his surroundings with curious eyes and walk in the direction of the sound. Avci and his father were excited about “what will happen?” they were waiting. Would this wild man take the instrument from the woman’s hand and smash it and hit the woman to the ground? Then, Adani saw the woman behind the tree and started looking at him surprisedly. It was the first time he saw such a creature! Then he slowly approached the woman and sat in front of him. The animals surrounded them, too. They all listened to this beautiful music with pleasure. What will happen This was not! What did they expect, what had happened. Samhat was playing and singing as if he had never seen them . Slowly, the animals around began to disperse. But the stranger had no intention of leaving anywhere. He saw what he had not seen until then and heard what he had not heard. The woman was playing her instrument and singing without getting tired, tired and tired . Meanwhile, the wild man slowly began to sneak past the woman. Samhat acted like he had never seen him. At one point, the man was well placed with the woman. Then he slowly touched the woman’s hand. Samhat looked at his face with great affection and affection . When eye to eye, the woman laughed. The man laughed too. Samhat’s lyre and his hand took it in the palm of his hand. But the man’s big hands did not fit into his tiny hands; but his softness and warmth gave him an excitement he had not heard before. Thoroughly he had yanasim the bottom of the directory of the woman and pointed again to play the instrument. The music and the woman impressed the stranger in an unexpected way. The more the woman stole and sang, the more she got stung at her. For a while he put his head on the woman’s shoulder. He looked so happy! Seeing this , the hunter and his father were very surprised. They never thought that they would get closer to each other so quickly . No matter how wild the man was, he had a human side. There was no longer any reason to worry . His complete humanization was now in Samhat’s hands. They had no doubts about him either. Leaving them alone, they left.
Samhat put his lyre with him and hugged this wild man lovingly. The man also hugged him. They stayed like this for a while. They were so close to each other now. The wild man had forgotten about his animals, Samhat kept at the bottom of the knee, doing whatever he said. Samhat named him Enkidu, which means “man of the dirt,” and taught him to name him first . After that she cut off her hair, beard, and mustache, which had grown too long, cleaned the dirt, and washed her well in the pinar. He put on the clothes he brought. He had been like a handsome, mighty city man. Samhat to him. he couldn’t get enough of looking at Samhat. Samhat to Enkidu
He first started his education by teaching how to eat, drink water, love and make love like a human. This combination was also tryin to speak. Enkidu was doing whatever Samhat said, without resisting. He started learning how to speak slowly. Days passed, Enkidu was learning what had been taught with great care . He was very clever. He never forgot what he had heard. Samhat was very surprised at his situation. It seemed uncommon for a person to learn so quickly and never forget what he had learned . But since it was so, he was doing his best to teach him every knowledge . Enkidu soon learned to speak, love, and love . Samhat made him drink beer and wine as the source of life is bread, and the source of joy is drink . Now Enkidu was like a city man. However, his dear friends animals were bored of his situation and could not come close to him . He spent all days with Samhat. He was very happy.
One day, Samhat told him, “Enkidu, you are like a city man now. You can speak well. Look, your animal friends have gone away from you. You have no friend other than me. Come, let me take you to our beautiful city of Uruk . Uruk is the city of beauty and happiness. In the squares of the place , songs are constantly sung with various instruments. The laughter of people with joy reverberates in the streets. You will see festivals there all the time. Young women will surround you with their eye-catching clothes and their charm, they will call you to their beds at night. There you will see people like yourself and make friends with them. I especially want to introduce you to our king Gilgames. a very strong and handsome man. until Enkidu heard this, “I will oppose him. Surely I am much stronger than him . I want to go and meet him immediately. ”Samhat was waiting for this .
Meanwhile, Gilgames, who was in Uruk, had a dream. Just ran to interpret the mother and “Mom, I saw a strange dream tonight, let’s you’ll Reviews How,” he said: Gilgamesh, began to tell dream to his mother: “She shines In my dream, the sky stars. Suddenly a rock fall was in front of me like star. I wanted to remove him, it was agar The people gathered around him. Everyone was kissing him. I got on him and I got on him, and those who gathered around me immediately helped me while he was trying to get him up again .
Mother, “My son the sky in front of the fall and over like a star kimildatamadig of everyone öptüg of the bindig you say over and public together me you brought and I’m one of you it have kept design, the future of a friend of yours as strong and setting you; it is a you also do not keep it for you it shows that I will love you as much. Gilgames had another dream behind him. He went to his mother again and said, “My mother, tonight there is an extremely large ax standing in the market square of Uruk in my dream, the people gathered around him were also looking at him. He liked it very much . I got on it. You did not separate him from me. What does it mean? dream?” said.
His mother said, “My son, according to this dream, a good friend will soon come to you. You will meet him, you will love him very much. He will love you too, you will be like a brother .”
