[edit] What to say...opinions
I have claimed on the existentialism page that the Epic of Gilgamesh, is the first and ONLY, good existential story I know of. All the poor existentially deprived authors of the late Renaissance were deprived of this great existential story.
I think it is obvious that Enkidu is the other half of Gilgamesh. And.. i (sic)define the existential story as the "civilized man" -(Gilgamesh) and his inner duality the still-wild: "wild-(natural)-man" - (Enkidu). At any rate, Šamhat(Shamhat) is integral in helping this great Epic of Gilgamesh get started.
I see this as a twin thing, and a duality thing. (from the Arizona/SonoranDeserts)(I just made some edits to the article.)(I still think today's Modern Humans think we're so much smarter–in so many ways we're poorer. At least we have a History, if one can only access it: Believe in "sequential traslation": It is really NOT 'The Magnificent One'; It is: "Magnificent One" (in this case a female, but not just any, a main player in the story; she is required for the Epic to even start.))(articles: The, A, etc. can be important) --Mmcannis 21:05, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
