Gilgamesh Tablets ii & iii

Reading Gilgamesh left me a bit surprised. I thought it would be much more difficult to understand but i could not have been more wrong. I was able to read clearly and therefore was able to grasp the meaning of the mythological story.
Many things from this story left my mind to wonder a bit and I realized there were a few things that I found surprising. I found it quite interesting how the temple prostitute was considered almost like a goddess and was not treated like the prostitutes from today. Also, it at first shocked me when on page 15, after Enkidu and Gilgamesh had finished fighting, they had made up with a kiss and walked off hand in hand. But I soon came to quickly realize that they were not gay but it was simply the way it was back then. Doing what they did did not make them gay, it was a sign of showing everything is fine between us.
The story too surprised me in the way that I was intrigued and was always wondering what would happen next. I thought it would be difficult to understand and a little boring, but I was proved wrong. It brought me into the story of Enkidu and Gilgamesh, of adventure and myths.
