enkidu's loss of identity gets me every time. but he did it for you, gilgamesh, it weighs on him, hurts his heart, but he chooses gilgamesh, his most intimate friend, every single time. he has no regrets of choosing a short, happy, life at gilgamesh's side, than a long one without him as one of the forests beautiful woodland creatures.
now that's love.

Happy #ValentinesDay (belated)
From me to you <3
Or #Gilgamesh and #Enkidu to each other 😜
i am once again asking you to read #theEpicofGilgamesh
It's approx 4,000 years old, about love and grief at its core and will tear your heart out and begin to mend it again.
Ease of reading: read Stephen Mitchell's version
Academic reading: read Sophus Helle's
(or read both <3)
