Encounter with Gilgamesh
There was a great festival in Uruk that day. All the people on the streets were laughing and joking and singing with joy . In the squares of the city , performances were held, instruments were played, young and old people danced and various games were played. For today had begun a new year, the poor Shepherd God Dumuzi to escape from the underworld and reunite with his beloved but cruel wife Goddess Inanna. With this merger, abundance and abundance would come to the country, and the products would multiply; How not to be happy , how happy people!
Samhat is ahead. Enkidu plunged into that crowd and noise at the back, those who saw them suddenly fell silent and looked confused, and then trapped behind. When they came to the city’s market square, a large crowd surrounded them. The people were watching Enkidu on the one hand and talking on the other:
“How much this man is like our king, the mighty Gilgames!”
“But he looks a little shorter than him .”
“Our king is much stronger than he.”
“But he’s as handsome as our king.”
“He lived in the forest with the animals, he ate and drank like them.”
“No animal, it is said, would do him evil.”
“So you can be friends with animals .”
“Samhat named him Enkidu, how quickly he trained him.”
“According to what he told, he was eating and drinking like animals, and he didn’t know how to talk.”
“Since you can learn these quickly, he must be as smart as he is!”
“I wonder what our king will do when he sees him?”
“We will see which one will beat which.”
“If it is up to me, our king is stronger than he.”
“I think Enkidu is stronger and handsome, as if there is a Godly beauty in him.”
While the people were talking about this, Gilgames suddenly appeared from the road. How majestic he looked with his large body, bare above the waist , strong thighs ! As the people gave way to him, he was staring at a Gilgamesh, an Enkidu, to see what would happen, with silenced, curious eyes . But Gilgames was so busy. As he was walking, he could not see the crowd around him and did not hear the sounds.
She had not yet recovered from the unforgettable hours she spent with the Reverend Mother Nindada in the chamber of love in the temple of the Goddess Inanna . How beautiful and flirtatious she was He never guessed that I would meet so many beautiful and sweet. The bed, prepared with white linens , tried to show all the talents of that woman among the sighing smells of incense placed around , and Gilgames was no less than manhood.
The enthusiasm and passionate love songs that the priests and nuns sang to each other, accompanied by the harps, lyres and tambourines played in front of their rooms , fueled their love even more and added insatiable pleasures. How had Inanna sent her beloved husband to the underworld? Gilgames was thinking. How terrible it was when the goddess got angry! At that time, his eyes did not see anything. What is her husband’s fault! He did not mind whether his wife was staying underground for a long time, whether he came back right away, did not feel sorry, sat on the throne without concern! God should have known that he would not get out of there easily while going underground ; but he would do whatever he could think of, he would not think of the end. The underworld had not let him go without a replacement, and he had given them her husband . If it were not for Dumuzi’s sister, Gestinanna, the dream interpreter, she would never have come out of the underworld . How could Dumuzi bear that his beloved brother stayed there ! As the demons trying to catch Dumuzi say, which sister would be happy with this? Gestinanna rushed at once to the Assembly of the Gods and to begging and begging the beginning Gods to save her brother from the underworld; but Gods disregarded his pleas. When he finally realizes that the Gods will not take him out for good. At least this time , the goddess said that I will stay for half a year instead of her underground. Goddess Inanna too He supported Gestinan-na with some regret of what he had done, so that after Dumuzi had been underground for half a year , he got out and began to reunite with his wife again. Each time he came out, instead of God Dumuzi who was the king of that year , a high priestess took the place of the Goddess Inanna, and they joined together with instruments and songs. It was the turn of the bridegroom this year with king Gilgames. Gilgames was thinking about these on the one hand and walking on the other.
Before Samhat said it was Gilgames who came to Enkidu, he understood who he was . Slowly Enkidu started heading towards Gilgames. There was great excitement , nobody had a fence. Even the kids seemed nailed where they were. The people were afraid to know.
Gilgames and Enkidu suddenly came to the chest. If Gilgames wanted to ignore him and continue walking, Enkidu footed his way. Gilgames, who got angry at this suddenly, tried to push him , when he could not manage, he hugged and wanted to knock on the ground, again it was not. They both hugged each other and began to strangle. The floors seemed to tremble as they were struggling. My throat, which left everyone out of breath, was getting angry more and more, but neither was eaten nor eaten. Suddenly, Gilgames’ foot stumbled, while the onlookers waited that Enkidu would take advantage of this and knock him down, wouldn’t he save him from falling by sticking it in Gilgames’s hand? Wo n’t they start hugging and kissing each other from behind? It was impossible not to be surprised, everybody’s mouth remained open.
They both understood that they couldn’t beat each other. So their friendship and friendship had begun. They could give their lives for each other now. From that day on, Gilgames escaped boredom with Enkidu’s friendship, and the people found peace with his presence.
