Gilgamesh Tablet VI

This tablet shows how love can make you do crazy things. One moment, the goddess Ishtar is in love with Gilgamesh's body, and almost immediately after here love declaration, she hates him. Ishtar was filled with rage when Gilgamesh rejected her love and talked about her foulness. Here fury made her want to kill Gilgamesh with the Bull of Heaven, which Gilgamesh managed to defeat with the help of Enkidu. This event also shows the union Gilgamesh and Enkidu have developed. Enkidu fought the Bull of Heaven and insulted a goddess for Gilgamesh. I wish I had friends capable of doing that for me.
