Status Updates From [(The "Epic of Gilgamesh")]...

So far I feel like Gilgamesh is an arrogant man but I am interested to see if he can back it up tho but like the intro kinda told me he’s gonna kill the big bad humbaba. So we’ll see.

Out of 220

lecturer just compared gilgamesh to snoopy, it's the pinnacle of literature

"If I tell you the way things are in the netherworld,
You will be sitting there weeping [...] The penis that when you felt it, you were thrilled,
That penis is there like a rotten timber, vermin eat it. The sweet spot that you said of it, “Where is it? Let me at it!” That sweet spot is there like a crack in parched ground, full of dust.
“Woe is me!" cried the lord, he sat down in the dust."


#cursed. no sex in hell

Enkidu, my friend whom I have loved, is turned to clay
Shall I too not lie down like him, and never get up forever and ever?

After his death I could find no life

… This then is the work of mankind, he who is alive should be happy

Dense was the darkness, no light was there
