	Enkidu - www.GatewaysToBabylon.com
		Enkidu, the Mesopotamian prototype for the Natural Man, the Lord of the Forests and Wild Life who is fundamentally one with Nature, is perhaps one of the most enduring archetypes of the human psyche, but whose origin is generally not traced as far back as Mesopotamia.
		We meet Enkidu first in the Epic of Gilgamesh, and learn that he was created to be Gilgamesh´s equal and Soul Brother, so that the young, selfish, brutish and proud king of Uruk could know the meaning of friendship, trust, courage and loyalty to become a wholer being.
		Her Task is to initiate the wild Enkidu into his Higher Self, to tame the beast within to find the man without, a man who is both divine and very human, the healed version of Gilgamesh the king.

		The heroic couple's exploits culminate in Gilgamesh's refusal to become the consort of Ishtar, goddess of love and war, and in Enkidu's defiantly throwing the "thigh" (a euphemism for the genitals) of the newly slaughtered Bull of Heaven in her face after she resentfully unleashed it on the heroic couple.
		Gilgamesh confesses to everyone he meets that "since [Enkidu] went, my life is nothing." His search proves fruitless, however, and he returns to his kingly city where he reputedly composes the epic of his own adventures and carves them on the wall of the temple.
		Although the poem refers repeatedly to Gilgamesh's love for Enkidu as the central event of his life without specifying the nature of that love or what form its expression might have taken, the relationship between the two men obviously arouses far more authentic and intense emotions than either feels able to experience with a woman.

		Enkidu wins the admiration of Gilgamesh in part because he's the only man who has ever stood up to the prince before.

	gilgamesh (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The taming of Enkidu by the Harlot can be seen as a metaphor for the taming of the land by the means of civilization, especially the system of canals that controlled the wild waters and allowed for predictable, irrigated farming.
		Unfortunately, as Enkidu discovers in a dream, the gods are holding a council to determine who should die for these attacks on divinity: Gilgamesh or Enkidu.
		Naturally, since Gilgamesh is part divine and part human, while Enkidu is part human and part animal, the sacrifice, the judgment falls on Enkidu, who sickens and dies, at first cursing the harlot who led him to civilization, Gilgamesh and death, but then blessing her for the joy of friendship with Gilgamesh.
