Could you, wise men, enlighten me about the Epic of Gilgamesh, and its influence on the semitic religions?

Also, the relation between Gilgamesh and Enkidu... could it be considered a rudimentary way of greek love?

Read the penguin translation. Yes, really.

>relation
No. Not from the source material alone, at any rate. They don't do shit other than be best bros for life. It's not like it'd shy away from sex, either, because Enkidu fucking a prostitute is a major plot point.

This is unless you want to buy/read the shitty PDF of the hilariously expensive The Babylonian Gilgamesh Epic: Critical Edition and Cuneiform Texts, which is a more scholarly translation by the exact same person.

A young Priestess from the temple of Ishtar. The goddess Ishtar is the goddess Inanna, reborn after her triumph over the Abyss.

The Enuma Elish is thought by many to be the blue print for Revelations in the Christian Bible.
