Gilgamesh and Enkidu return back to Uruk, where they organize themselves again. The goddess Ishtar asks Gilgamesh to be her love; yet he refuses, for Ishtar was known to abandon previous boyfriends. Not good. Ishtar being furious, releases the Bull of Heaven (which is owned by Anu) upon Uruk. Enkidu fights it as Gilgamesh also joins him, and soon, the bull is killed. Gilgamesh and Enkidu are admired by the people. At night, Enkidu wakes up after a dream in which the gods were meeting in a council.
This tablet was just as interesting as the others, especially for it involved some fighting. (Yay.) I am amazed by the creativity the people back then also had. I am looking forward to reading the next tablets. :)
