		Huwawa (Humbaba), below, appears in the form of a NUDE man. According to the Epic of Gilgamesh he has no father or mother (like Adam).
		Below, a NAKED Huwawa is slain and beheaded with swords wielded by a beardless Enkidu (observer's left) and bearded Gilgamesh who wears a cap (observer's right).
		After Huwawa's death Gilgamesh begins climbing the cedars and lopping off their branches, to make logs of them to float down the Euphrates to his city of Uruk where he will use them to adorn temples.

	The Gilgamesh Story by Tablet
		Huwawa was a powerful god who was the guardian of the forest and possessed great strength and seven layers of mystical radiance known as "melam and ni".
		Huwawa's name is translated as "bigness" or "giant", and the story alludes to his stature by Gilgamesh's reaction-the great king was frozen with fear at the sight of the god.
		In some translations, Huwawa's eyes apparently shot some sort of fire that burned the trees and ground, and his "melam and ni" were blinding.

	Huwawa the Terrible
		During the approach, Shamash tells Gilgamesh that Huwawa is not wearing all of his "melam", and may be approached without blinding Gilgamesh.
		As Enkidu and Gilgamesh surround Huwawa, Shamash causes the winds to blow and swirl around Huwawa, making his "melam" even less effective, allowing our heroes to capture him.
		Enkidu beheads Huwawa, and the two return to Uruk heroes with enough timber to build a huge gate for the city.

		Huwawa falls for the trick, lets his auras down and loses his life.
		GH is a central meditation on such matters, and it is not without irony and even veiled critiques of the reckless and heartless act of rulers, who exploit their families, especially their women, who plunder foreign lands and commit murder to further their aims.
		It is important to remember that Huwawa, to the Mesopotamians, was no monster, but a divine guardian who had a proper, benign role to play in the structure of the universe.

		It just doesn't seem right that the son would set the father to guard the forest, in this context - unless, of course this is a set-up for the younger god to usurp the power of the elder god through the agency of his defeat by Gilga the hero.

		Stripped of his powers, Huwawa is then captured by Bilgames, who in an act of generosity releases him, much to the consternation of Enkidu, who proceeds to cut off the dangerous Huwawa's head.
		Upset over Huwawa's death, the god Enlil distributes the magic powers that were once Huwawa's to other entities in the cosmos.
		After a recitation of his deeds—including his defeat of Huwawa and his visitation with Ziusdra, the Noah-like survivor of the Sumerian Deluge—the gods reach their decision: Bilgames must go to the netherworld, but he will occupy a place of honor there as a semi-divine judge.
