Gilgamesh was kind of a fag

Frick off, this was the first and best bromance of all time.
>‘Hear me, great ones of Uruk,
>I weep for Enkidu, my friend,
>Bitterly moaning like a woman mourning
>I weep for my brother.
>O Enkidu, my brother,
>You were the axe at my side,
>My hand's strength, the sword in my belt,
>The shield before me,
>A glorious robe, my fairest ornament;
>An evil Fate has robbed me.
>The wild ass and the gazelle
>That were father and mother,
>All long-tailed creatures that nourished you
>Weep for you,
>All the wild things of the plain and pastures;
>The paths that you loved in the forest of cedars
>Night and day murmur.
>Let the great ones of strong-walled Uruk
>Weep for you;
>Let the finger of blessing
>Be stretched out in mourning;
>Enkidu, young brother. Hark,
>There is an echo through all the country
>Like a mother mourning.
>Weep all the paths where we walked together;
>And the beasts we hunted, the bear and hyena,
>Tiger and panther, leopard and lion,
>The stag and the ibex, the bull and the doe.
>The river along whose banks we used to walk,
>Weeps for you,
>Ula of Elam and dear Euphrates
>Where once we drew water for the water-skins.
>The mountain we climbed where we slew the Watchman,
>Weeps for you.
>The warriors of strong-walled Uruk
>Where the Bull of Heaven was killed,
>Weep for you.
>All the people of Eridu
>Weep for you Enkidu.
>Those who brought grain for your eating
>Mourn for you now;
>Who rubbed oil on your back
>Mourn for you now;
>Who poured beer for your drinking
>Mourn for you now.
>The harlot who anointed you with fragrant ointment
>Laments for you now;
>The women of the palace, who brought you a wife,
>A chosen ring of good advice,
>Lament for you now.
>And the young men your brothers
>As though they were women
>Go long-haired in mourning.
>What is this sleep which holds you now?
>You are lost in the dark and cannot hear me.'
