![]() No amount of bad days can discourage Enkidu, and that’s partly because they’re made of clay and have little concept of human emotion.In Sumerian works, Enkidu is depicted as a slave to Gilgamesh instead of his companion.He is rejected by his wild companions and chooses to leave behind his life in the wild. She lures him away from the wild with her body and tames him with sex. The feral man is cared for by Shamhat, a sacred temple prostitute. The god Anu creates a feral man, Enkidu, as punishment for the king’s behavior.His tragedy represents the endless pursuit of immortality. But alas he is courageous and wise, and becomes the standard set for heroes of the time. Gil is a brutal tyrant and oppressor, appearing at points to have no redeeming qualities. The Epic of Gilgamesh isn’t nearly as pretty.They adored their first lover Shamhat so much that they chose to mold their form to resemble her. They are his only equal, and the only figure that has ever received the affection of the King of Heroes. They were created by the gods to rival Gilgamesh and humble him by showing that he had a true equal. ![]() In the Nasuverse, Enkidu is the one and only friend of Chaldea’s biggest ass. ![]()
