"That is Enkidu, Shamhat - show him your breasts,
show him your beauty. Spread your cloak out on the ground,
and lie upon it. Let the wild man gaze upon you.
Show him your body. The scale-bodied man
will come to you, and lay with you - Then,
show him the things a woman knows how to do."

we’re gonna get a publishing wave here that’s going to sink lower than you can possibly imagine because somewhere someone is typing “so Enkidu smashed Shamhat” into a doc titled Gilgamesh: A Gen Z Translation

You VILL let ze temple priestess shamhat civilize you, UND you vill be HAPPY

For two weeks did Shamhat civilize the divine beast Enkidu through sex. This is one of the first recorded stories of lezzing out in human history

Some of the first art humanity made was pornographic. The oldest stories that are still told are sexual.

It is Shamhat, a sacred prostitute, who civilizes Enkidu in the epic of Gilgamesh.

Sex work is ancient. Sex is fundamentally human. It's no 'filthier' than any other human pursuit or endeavor.

Okay but what if Enkidu was a huge wild wolf who becomes a huge loyal dog after his seduction by Shamhat
"Random smut just ruins the story! Never write your kink!"
The oldest surviving written story we know of is the Epic of Gilgamesh, where at one point the hero-prostitute Shamhat tames the feral demi-god Enkidu through a weeks-long fuck rampage. You don't know what you're talking about. Shut up.

we find the following statement:

"While the etymology is still unclear, "the 'Lord' (is / has) a glowing giant snake" has been proposed."

There is a...not insignificant distance between those two things. One is a sex boast (Shamhat did it better); the other is the start of a kaiju myth.

When the gods made Enkidu, they forgot to instill in him the instinct for civilization, making him no better than a Beast! It took love from the Beauty Shamhat, priestess of civilized Inanna, to tame him: but Enkidu lost his animal brethren. #FairytaleTuesday

This honestly really undersells the role of Shamhat, history’s First Bad Bitch
It remains very funny to me that in our oldest extant story, Gilgamesh, in order to win Enkidu over to civilization, gives his boy bread, beer, and a hooker, and Enkidu’s response is essentially “damn, civilization fucking rips”

La première épopée conservée de l'histoire de l'humanité : raconte avec force détails dès son chapitre deux ou à peu près comment Enkidu se fait baiser jusqu'à ne plus pouvoir tenir debout par la courtisane Shamhat.

I have forgotten the taste of mountain barley. Too long I beckoned to Shamhat in this most untamed place! Ishtar, will you listen to me?

fundamentally of the belief that enkidu generally rocks a pussy because they respect shamhat and want to keep her body mostly accurate but with gil they make sure they're always bedicked and exactly 1 inch bigger just to fuck with him

Shamhat is Best Girl

This is true as far back as the Fellowship of the Ring

Fuck it, this is true as far back as Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and Shamhat
The Adventuring Party is a polycule. There is no better “real world” analog.

Beauty and the Beast is the tale of a wild man being charmed and civilized by a beautiful woman

Disney calls this a “tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme”

In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the temple prostitute Shamhat charms and tames the wild man Enkidu

Disney is 100% correct

This is what Shamhat did to Enkidu

In Mesopotamian myth, Enkidu is a feral man created by the goddess Aruru. A sacred prostitute named Shamhat from the city of Uruk is sent to civilize him. She grants him full human sapience through divine lovemaking, which lasts six days and seven nights. #MythologyMonday
