“ Really polite, and a great writer! Task done as described and better, responded to all my questions promptly too! ”
The eagle that you saw, with a lion’s head,
stands for Humbaba. Though it dived straight toward you
and terrifying flames shot from its mouth,
nothing could cause you harm. The young man
who came to your rescue was our lord, Shamash.
He will stand beside us when the monster attacks.
Whatever happens, we will prevail.”
2. It helps the audience absorb the poem.
3. It creates a rhythmic pattern.
4. It emphasizes important ideas.
Then, from heaven, the voice of the god
called to Gilgamesh: “Hurry, attack,
attack Humbaba while the time is right,
before he enters the depths of the forest,
before he can hide there and wrap himself
in his seven auras with their paralyzing glare.
He is wearing just one now. Attack him! Now!”
Enkidu said, “Don’t worry, my friend,
the dream you had is a favorable one.
Again, the mountain stands for Humbaba.
He threw you down, but he could not kill you.
As for the handsome young man who appeared,
he stands for Lord Shamash, who will rescue you
and grant you everything you desire.”
Enkidu said, “Don’t worry, my friend,
the dream you had is a favorable one.
The fiery heavens stand for Humbaba,
who tried to kill you with lightning and flames.
But in spite of the fire, he could not harm you.”
The man who pulled you up from the ground
and gave you fresh water from his waterskin
is Lugalbanda, your personal god.
With his help, we will achieve a triumph
greater than any man has achieved.
