Gilgamesh, a king.
Gilgamesh, a king! At Uruk.
He tormented his subjects. He made them angry. They cried out aloud: “Send us a companion for our king! Spare us from his madness!”
Enkidu, a wild man from the forest, entered the city.
They fought in the temple. They fought in the streets.
Gilgamesh defeated Enkidu. They became great friends.
Gilgamesh and Enkidu at Uruk.
The new friends went out into the desert together, where the Great Bull of Heaven was killing men by the hundreds. Enkidu caught the bull by the tail. Gilgamesh struck him with his sword.
They were victorious.
But Enkidu fell to the ground, struck down by the gods.
And Gilgamesh wept bitter tears, saying: “He, who was my companion through adventure and hardship, is gone forever.”
World’s first bromance
First one captured in a story, anyway.
The part in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla when Eivor was telling a legend to the Kanien’kehá:ka tribe despite none of them knowing what they were saying reminded me of this scene.
Shaka, when Patrick Stuart fell
Zinda, his face black, his eyes red.
Number one, Capitaine now
GaloisGhost his face is wet
