Together

“Two people, companions, they can prevail” (Gilgamesh, p43)
During these two tablets, Enkidu perishes while in the care of Gilgamesh because it is this that the gods have decided to do. I think it has a deeper symbolic meaning but I don’t see it clearly. My interpretation though is that two people, who stay together as friends, can go against anything, even death. I especially like these tablets because they remind me of what life is really about. If you stay together, then nothing can bring you down.
