Gilgamesh asks the blessings of his mother.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Ninsun: Why did you give my son a restless heart? Do not desert him during the dark of night. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| Gilgamesh: I do not know the road I am about to travel or the kind of battle I am about to fight. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| | |
| Ninsun: You are my son now too. Bring my son back to me. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
Elders: Gilgamesh, Enkidu knows the wild places. Let Enkidu be your guide.
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Enkidu: Since your mind is set, I know the way. I will go with you and be your guide. We cannot sit at home for the rest of our days. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Gilgamesh: This is my destiny. Standing together, we two can prevail. | |
