The gods of Uruk, the strong-walled, Assume the shape of flies and buzz about the streets.
The protecting deities of Uruk, the strong-walled, Take on the shape of mice and hurry into their holes. And even Ishtar, the goddess, could not make headway against the enemy. He saves the city, but unfortunately his rule is tyrannical, and the people of Uruk complain to the gods. Your people now come to you for help. Gilgamesh arrogantly leaves no son to his father, 30 Yet he should be the shepherd of the city.
He is the ruler—strong, cunning—but Gilgamesh does not leave a daughter to her mother, 35 Nor the maiden to the warrior, nor the wife to her husband. The gods of heaven heard their cry.
Aruru washed her hands, took a bit of clay, and cast it on the ground. Thus she created Enkidu, the hero, as if he were born of Ninurta god of war and hunting. His whole body was covered with hair; he had long hair on his head like a woman; 45 His flowing hair was luxuriant like that of the corn-god.
He ate herbs with the gazelles. He quenched his thirst with the beasts. He sported about with the creatures of the water. Then did a hunter, a trapper, come face to face with this fellow, 50 Came on him one, two, three days, at the place where the beasts drank water. He was sad, and moaned, and wailed; 55 His heart grew heavy, his face became clouded, And sadness entered his mind.
The pits which I myself hollowed With my own hands he has filled in again, and the traps that I set Are torn up, and out of my clutches he has helped all the cattle escape, 65 And the beasts of the desert: to work at my fieldcraft, or hunt, he will not allow me.
When he gathers the cattle again in their drinking place, So shall she put off her mantle, the charm of her beauty revealing; 75 Then he shall see her, and in truth will embrace her, and thereafter his cattle, With which he was reared, with straightaway forsake him. The hunter listened to the advice of his father and straightaway He went to Gilgamesh, taking the road towards Uruk.
The pits which I myself hollowed With mine own hands he has filled in again, and the traps that I set Are torn up, and out of my clutches he has helped all the cattle escape, And the beasts of the desert: to work at my fieldcraft, or hunt, he will not allow me. When he gathers the cattle again in their drinking place, So shall she put off her mantle, the charm of her beauty revealing; Then he shall see her, and in truth will embrace her, and thereafter his cattle, With which he was reared, with straightaway forsake him.
Forth went the hunter, took with him a courtesan-girl, a hetaera, the woman Shamhat; Together they proceeded straightway, and On the third day they reached the appointed field. There the hunter and the hetaera rested.
One day, two days, they lurked at the entrance to the well, Where the cattle were accustomed to slake their thirst, Where the creatures of the waters were sporting. Then came Enkidu, whose home was the mountains, Who with gazelles ate herbs, And with the cattle slaked his thirst, And with the creatures of the waters rejoiced his heart. And Shamhat beheld him. Be not ashamed, but yield to his sensuous lust.
She was not ashamed, but yielded to his sensuous lust. She removed her garment, he lay in her arms, And she satisfied his desire after the manner of women. For six days and seven nights Enkidu enjoyed the love of Shamhat. And when he had sated himself with her charms, He turned his face toward his cattle. The gazelles, resting, beheld Enkidu; they and The cattle of the field turned away from him.
This startled Enkidu and his body grew faint; His knees became stiff, as his cattle departed, And he became less agile than before. And as he realized what had happened, he came to a decision. Come, I will take you to strong-walled Uruk; To the glorious house, the dwelling of Anu and Ishtar, The palace of Gilgamesh, the hero who is perfect in strength, Surpassing, like a mountain bull, men in power.
I will challenge him. I have seen his face; it glows with heroic courage. Strength he possesses, magnificent is his whole body. He rests not nor tires, neither by day nor by night. O Enkidu, change your intention. Shamash loves Gilgamesh; Anu and Ea are whispering wisdom into his ear.
My own companions were kissing his feet; and I to my breast like a woman did hold him, Then I presented him low at your feet, that as my own equal you might recognize him. Hurtled an axe, and they gathered about it: People were standing about it, the people all thronging before it, Artisans pressing behind it, while I at your feet did present it, I held it to me like a woman, that you might recognize it as my own equal.
She took off one length of cloth wherewith she might clothe him: the other she herself wore,. And so, holding his hand like a brother, she led him To the huts of the shepherds, the place of the sheepfolds. The shepherds Gathered at the sight of him. He in the past was accustomed to suck the milk of the wild things!
Bread which she set before him he broke, but he gazed and he stared: Enkidu did not know how to eat bread, nor had he the knowledge to drink mead! Enkidu ate the bread, ate until he was gorged, Drank of the mead seven cups; his spirits rose, and he was exultant, Glad was his heart, and cheerful his face: He anointed himself with oil: and thus became human.
He put on a garment to be like a man and taking his weapons, He hunted the lions, which harried the shepherds all the nights, and he caught the jackals. He, having mastered the lions, let the shepherds sleep soundly. I would know his intention. You will see Gilgamesh, king of broad-marketed Uruk; After the wedding, he sleeps first with the bride, his birthright, before the husband.
Strewn is the couch for the love-rites, and Gilgamesh now in the night-time Comes to sleep, to delight in the woman, but Enkidu, standing There in the street, blocks the passage to Gilgamesh, threatening Gilgamesh with his strength. Gilgamesh shows his rage, and he rushed to attack him: they met in the street. Enkidu barred up the door with his foot, and to Gilgamesh denied entry.
They grappled and snorted like bulls, and the threshold of the door Shattered: the very wall quivered as Gilgamesh with Enkidu grappled and wrestled. Gilgamesh bent his leg to the ground [pinning Enkidu]: so his fury abated, And his anger was quelled: Enkidu thus to Gilgamesh spoke:. When the story resumes, time has passed, and Gilgamesh and Enkidu are now friends.
Enkidu is grieving the loss of a woman: possibly Shamhat leaving him, possibly another woman who has died. Each clasped the hand of the other. Humbaba—his roar was a whirlwind, Flame in his jaws, and his very breath Death! O, why have you desired To accomplish this?
To meet with Humbaba would be an unequal conflict. O Gilgamesh,. So that he can safeguard the Forest of Cedars, making it a terror to mortals, Enlil has appointed him—Humbaba, his roar is a whirlwind, Flame in his jaws, and his very breath Death!
Your own mouth shall tell others that you feared the onslaught of battle, Whereas I, if I should fall, will have established my name forever.
It was Gilgamesh who fought with Humbaba, the Fierce! When you talk this way, you make me long for the Cedars even more; I am determined to cut them down, so that I may gain fame everlasting. I go against Humbaba, the Fierce, who shall say, when he hears that I am coming,.
News has come to our ears of Humbaba, who is twice the size of a man. Who of free will then would seek to oppose him or encounter his weapons? Who would march for two hours from the skirts of the Forest Into its depths? Humbaba, his roar is a whirlwind, Flame is in his jaws, and his very breath is Death! O, why have you desired to accomplish this? To fight with Humbaba would be an unequal conflict. In truth, I dread him, and yet into the depths of the Forest I will go.
Truly, he who walks in front is able to safeguard a comrade, Your guide will guard you; so, let Enkidu walk in front of you, For he knows the road to the Forest of Cedars; He lusts for battle, and threatens combat. Enkidu—he would watch over a friend, would safeguard a comrade, Yes, such a man would deliver his friend from out of the pitfalls.
When Utnapishtim asked what he would tell the people of Shuruppak, who would have to help him build it, Ea suggested an artful lie. Tell them, he said, that you are leaving the city because Enlil hates you. Tell them that when you leave, the city will be showered with good fortune, that all manner of bread and wheat will rain down upon it, and that they will have more fish to eat than they can imagine.
So Utnapishtim butchered bulls and sheep for the workers and gave them rivers of beer and wine to drink. It was like a festival. In seven days the boat was ready.
With great difficulty, they launched it in the Euphrates. After Puzuramurri the caulker had sealed them inside, Utnapishtim gave him his house and everything in it.
When the storm came, the gods clambered up as high as they could go and cringed in terror. Ishtar wept to see her children being destroyed. Eventually, the boat ran aground on a mountain peak. But Gilgamesh, down in the woods you will find Urshanabi, the ferryman of Utnapishtim; with him are the holy things, the things of stone.
He is fashioning the serpent prow of the boat. Look at him well, and if it is possible, perhaps you will cross the waters with him; but if it is not possible, then you must go back. When Gilgamesh heard this he was seized with anger. He took his axe in his hand, and his dagger from his belt. He crept forward and he fell on them like a javelin.
Then he went into the forest and sat down. Urshanabi saw the dagger flash and heard the axe, and he beat his head, for Gilgamesh had shattered the tackle of the boat in his rage. I am Urshanabi, the ferryman of Utnapishtim the Faraway. Why is despair in your heart and your face like the face of one who has made a long journey; yes, why is your face burned with heat and with cold, and why do you come here wandering over the pastures in search of the wind?
Despair is in my heart, and my face is the face of one who has made a long journey. I was burned with heat and with cold. Why should I not wander over the pastures? My friend, my younger brother who seized and killed the Bull of Heaven, and overthrew Humbaba in the cedar forest, my friend who was very dear to me, and who endured dangers beside me, Enkidu my brother whom I loved, the end of mortality has overtaken him.
Because of my brother I am afraid of death, because of my brother I stray through the wilderness. His fate lies heavy upon me. How can I be silent, how can I rest? He is dust and I too shall die and be laid in the earth forever. I am afraid of death, therefore, Urshanabi, tell me which is the road to Utnapishtim?
If it is possible I will cross the waters of death; if not I will wander still farther through the wilderness. It was for this reason that I preserved them, but you have destroyed them, and the urnu snakes with them. But now, go into the forest, Gilgamesh; with your axe cut poles, one hundred and twenty, cut them sixty cubits long, paint them with bitumen, set on them ferrules and bring them back.
Then they boarded the boat, Gilgamesh and Urshanabi together, launching it out on the waves of Ocean. Gilgamesh, take a second pole, take a third, take a fourth pole. Now, Gilgamesh, take a fifth, take a sixth and seventh pole. Gilgamesh, take an eighth, and ninth, a tenth pole. Gilgamesh, take an eleventh, take a twelfth pole. Then he stripped himself, he held up his arms for a mast and his covering for a sail.
So Urshanabi the ferryman brought Gilgamesh to Utnapishtim, whom they call the Faraway, who lives in Dihnun at the place of the sun's transit, eastward of the mountain. To him alone of men the gods had given everlasting life. That man who comes is none of mine; where I look I see a man whose body is covered with skins of beasts. Who is this who walks up the shore behind Urshanabi, for surely he is no man of mine?
Where are you hurrying to now? For what reason have you made this great journey, crossing "the seas whose passage is difficult?
