Adventure of Enkidu

[http://ieros.info/Site/Gilgamesh/Media/enkidu%20drinking_1.jpg] [http://ieros.info/Site/Media/itbounce-902.m4a]The Adventure of Enkidu continues tablet I of the Epic and finishes on tablet II. It is supplemented by Bablyonian material where the Akkadian text is damaged. Gilgamesh is a young king of Uruk, arrogant, and overbearing. He so abuses his authority by the mistreatment of his people, even his own warriors and peers, even taking their brides in sexual intercourse, that he is feared and despised, even while admired. The people pray for a champion to deliver them, another strong man who can best him. The creator Aruru places Enkidu (the "wild man") on earth for this purpose. He is eventually tamed and comes to Uruk to challenge Gilgamesh. This is the tale of that encounter. *** The image is an Akkadian frieze representing Enkidu drinking at a waterhole in the wilderness like a beast. Music excerpt is “Ur” from the album The Forest by David Byrne [http://www.davidbyrne.com/music/cds/the_forest/index.php]

Adventure of Forests of Cedar (Part 1)

[http://ieros.info/Site/Gilgamesh/Media/l_3f322accafa1bcce0f956eb8f17f2d15_1.jpg] [http://ieros.info/Site/Media/itbounce-901.m4a]The text of this episode is much damaged in both the Akkadian and the Babylonian series; rather than indicating the frequent gaps and ambiguities, the text is reconstructed from the best sources, including the more ancient Sumerian. Much is conjectural, and is given some poetic license. The Sumerian, rather than the Akkadian, contains more details, and so the temper of the story reflects its more “archaic” tone. *** Image is a classic Sumerian representation of Gilgamesh wrestling a lion to his death. Music excerpt is “Fantasia On A Theme By Thomas Tallis” from the album, Vaughan Williams: Symphonic Works [http://www.amazon.com/Vaughan-Williams-Fantasies-Ascending-Variants/dp/B000004CVM/ref=sr_1_1?s=gateway&ie=UTF8&qid=1285442870&sr=8-1]
