Death Of Gilgamesh

Hello my name is Cameron and I was a close friend to Gilgamesh. I really miss the time when I went to go help Gilgamesh for when he killed Humbaba. As the gods have once said " A goddess made him, strong as a savage bull, none can withstand his arms". I remember when Gilgamesh and Enkidu and I killed the Bull of Heaven. “o Gilgamesh followed the Bull, he seized the thick of its tail, he thrust the sword between the nape and the horns and slew the Bull". Gilgamesh also expressed what was on his mind with love. “If I take you in marriage, what gifts can I give in return?Your lovers have found you like a brazier which smoulders in the cold,”. Ishtar was deeply in love with Gilgamesh but Gilgamesh told Ishtar how he felt he was the most honest person in Uruk. I remember when me Gilgamesh and Enkidu became friends.“When Enkidu was thrown he said to Gilgamesh, 'There is not another like you in the world. Ninsun, who is as strong as a wild ox in the byre, she was the mother who bore you, and now you are raised above all".  We were the best of friends Gilgamesh,Enkidu and I.“, the great gods made his beauty perfect, surpassing all others, terrifying like a great wild bull. Two thirds they made him god and one third man. Not only was Gilgamesh the strongest in all the land he was Demi-god. Thank you for your time and thank you for letting me say a formal good bye to my friend.
