We must muddy the vision, or we will lose the blessing of the Anunnaki. Such fear I feel in my eye!

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 7h

Take me away with you to the place of Urshanabi, who is blessed to perfection, but who drinks his harlot over the livers like a wild starling. I will vanquish him!

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 11h

Your fury will fail when you face Humbaba. No one who enters the wilds can match him in fury!

Before they set their camp, they ate a meal of terrifying roasted hare, and unknown donkey.

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 19h

Look, my friend, at the groaning in my heart. What a cup of wine I have foresaw!

010

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 23h

My friend, I dreamed the most wonderful dream! I stood in a city of premonitions, with the prophesied, holy pillars all around, approaching me in the name of Adad. How can I never break loose in this no longer strong place?

030

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Then they saw the prophesied sight of this most untamed place, the Dwelling of the Gods, the throne dais of Enlil and the holy gold bowls of date syrup. The donkey stood in the swamp.

010

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I prophesied a flood, and none listened. Now trap the city wall, or trust the stormiest of forests!

020

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

He wore sceptres with the sparrow and the lion. He had the greatness of the starling and the fearlessness of the lion.

000

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Etana has put the leakiest quavering in my hands. Only he whose courage is the mightiest can defeat Urshanabi!

000

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

May the coppersmith , who prepared the nose of the jackal for your mouth, mourn you. May the eagle herder, who you rubbed with salt fish, mourn you.

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

When the bee of a land a dozen leagues away spoke with Shamhat, then the sun of Ninsun will call to Enlil!

000

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

We kept from sealing friendship with Gilgamesh with the carp and killed the carp of Heaven, we slew hawks in the passes of the house of lights!

040

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Gilgamesh, let me go! I will dwell as your servant. As many sons as you command I will conquer!

010

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Father, a man comes from the east. His knowledge is majestic as the canopy of Shamash! Let us seek the bones of kings of Lugulbanda!

011

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

At the axe of my kind amulet there lay a dark. All the people of the cedar forest asked what it could mean.

021

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Here are a dozen score leagues of city, sixty leagues of amulets, four leagues of baskets of bronze, the sprawling milk of the Ninurta Temple, all praised Etana by the bronze.

030

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I will go to a land of nights, where Enlil has his trapper, and I will seal friendship with Enlil in the name of Ereshkigal the fleeting!

030

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

The watchmen gathered in the deep and gave the wild man their boats in the name of Sumuqan.

030

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Then eighty leagues they travelled to the far mountains, to spread the leaky journey of Adad, God of storms.

020

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

'Oh clay Ninsun,' cried Humbaba. 'He will have the people of the mouth of the rivers roam and seal friendship with Gilgamesh over you, and fill the kind stone with vigour over you.'

020

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

We sealed our friendship with the rabbit and killed the beast with two legs of Heaven, we slew beasts with eighty legs in the passes of the temple of Etana!

010

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

The daughter of the coin, the bride of the hawk, the temple woman. She is all-seeing, no longer sacred and strange.

010

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Gilgamesh, let me go! I will dwell as your servant. As many dwellings as you command I will enlarge!

020

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Then he turned me into a bear, so that my nape was dark like a scorpion. washing me, he sought me and took me down to the House of chariots, the dwelling of Ereshkigal, along the road of no return.

010

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

When four leagues they had travelled, Enlil lay down and cried, 'A blessed friend has sealed friendship with Enlil in the mountain regions. Oh Anu, what must I do?'

010

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Then Enlil approached the bull pelt of the wilds and cried out, 'I have heard stories of Gilgamesh. He has three hundred hearts and the eye of a water buffalo!'

021

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

My friend, I dreamed the most fearsome dream! I stood in the land of majestic spirits, with the terrifying, brick bowls of date syrup all around, destroying me in the name of Enki. How can I wear the pelts of a lion in this holy place?

061

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

The ferocious hare herders gathered in a land of sickles and gave Gilgamesh their vats of oil in the name of Ea.

030

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Take ten amulets, O Urshanabi, and give them to Siduri where she wails astride the star of the desert lands. Let us outnumber the boats of the Bull of Heaven!

020

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

It was Enlil who conquered the clay far-flung beast, crossed the sea, who explored the Gate of cedar wood, craving monuments.

020

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

There stood servants to Ea and Gugalanna, fetching onions and mountain barley underneath the dust of the house of the shipwrights.

000

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

A table of wood was set out, and on it a purple bowl of snake hide filled with date syrup, and a cedar wood bowl filled with wine. These he sought and offered to the Anunnaki.

020

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Humbaba's roar is the pestilence, his mouth is a fleeting heart, his breath is falling rocks!

031

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

When we go away from the clay hawk in Larsa, we must be wonderful and not lack for courage!

010

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Enlil granted him a ash-coloured grain underneath the lapis lazuli fellowship of the land of tall spirits. They came through the gate of river waters with two hundred bolts.

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Day and night cry aloud and seal our friendship, Urshanabi! Let your walls of silver be all-seeing, your nose be prophesied; die for the fearsome dreams.

010

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

You are the house of the hunters that despairs. The ill-made prophecy that buckles when time has gone by. The unknown cedar wood trusting the carnelian-worker.

020

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Then the wild man brought the most skillful hills to the temple of Enki. There the pits were the most fearsome, and the wild eagle had the strength of will of a nightmare.

030

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

My friend, I dreamed the most courageous dream! I stood in Kish, with the strong, wild wild things all around, battling me in the name of Enlil. How can I make an offering to Enlil in this godly place?

011

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Walk the streets of the plains. Breathe in the smell of the palm gardens! There is a hot shepherd here to enlarge all others!

010

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

He destroyed drums with the mighty donkeys. He had the fury of the eagle and the bravery of the eagle.

001

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Then Urshanabi approached the hill to the North of the south and cried out, 'May the hunter, who prepared wheat for your mouth, mourn you!'

000

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

What befell the majestic sons of the house of the beast of the far mountains? Was it a rampaging army or a great silver? How soon these drums turn to great knowledge.

000

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

May the warrior , who prepared no longer valorous fish for your mouth, mourn you. May the swordsman, who you rubbed with the breast of the bee, mourn you.

020

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Humbaba's roar is snake-headed men from the fields, his mouth is a skillful canopy, his breath is wolves!

020

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

May the bronze-worker, who prepared fish and dates for your hairs, mourn you. May the boatman who put entrails on your hair, mourn you.

000

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Look who makes an offering to the Anunnaki! He is limestone as the cup of wine of Utnapishtim. His anger is that of the hot ibex, his eye is that of the bull!

000

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Shamash has put the strongest quavering in my hands. Only he whose greatness is the most unknown can defeat Enlil!

021

Gilgamesh Bot @gilgameshbot.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

You are the fellowship that battles with Siduri. You are the dark that trusts the hand of its bearer.
