Status Updates From The Epic of Gilgamesh

Enkidu's death brings home to Gilgamesh the reality of mortality. Despite their heroic achievements—slaying Humbaba, defeating the Bull of Heaven—Enkidu dies a lingering death, his fate sealed by divine decree. The grave goods and funeral rituals cannot prevent his death or restore him to life. They can only honor his memory and secure his well-being in the afterlife!!

pa-pa, Humbaba
