Ping Enkidu |
Was perusing my copy of the Gilgamesh epic in bed last night when I ran
across the inspiration for your handle, "Enkidu." . . . Interesting
stuff.
There's more at Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enkidu
I especially love the description at beginning of the epic: "The whole
of his body was hairy and his (uncut) locks were like a woman's or the
hair of the goddess of grain. Moreover, he knew nothing of settled
fields or human beings and was clothed (in skins) like a deity of
flocks."
But, later, it appears, he was tamed. And, after being corrupted by the
harlot, watches over animals instead of running with them. The analogy
to humanity's own "domestication" is clear.
