>>53677898>>53681416>>53700688no you absolute fucking retards, none of you understand the point of the text at all. The fact that Gilgamesh cucks some guys is secondary. In fact, the whole point is not even that Gilgamesh violated 'the natural order' or some shit and that whatever the gods say is good. In sumerian mythology, much like most ancient mythology, the gods and their antics are whimsical and glorified representations of the capriciousness of humanity. Many historians have noted the almost soap opera way in which the ancient sumerian deities interact.
It's not about Gil defying the will of the gods or the natural order, it's that he is acting in hubris and obliviousness. He is punished for his arrogance, for being too greedy and prideful in the face of the scarcity of reality.
But even then the reason why this is viewed as bad is not because 'muh gods say so' it's because of mortality. At that point in human history, people died all the time, death was everywhere. People didn't view the gods as a source of comfort/knowledge/arbiters of morality like how they view god now, they just saw the gods as representations/explanations of the incomprehensible natural forces that they were at the mercy of.
The story is not saying 'oh no Gil sinned by cucking because this defies the will of the gods' it's saying 'Gil was wasting time being arrogant trying to fuck all these women while being at the mercy of nature and mortality.
Literally the whole point is that humanity is at the whim of the wasteland, the wild. That's why Enkidu is a wild man at first. That's why Gil has to journey into the wilderness. The whole point is that by trying to monopolize resources and act like he is some invincible god-king who can do whatever he wants, Gil is blind to the reality of how harsh and scarce things are. He has to realize that maintaining his legacy in the walls and foundation of Uruk is what truly matters, beyond his mortal coil. Cuckoldry has fuck all to do with it, it's just a convenient starting point to show how this guy is fucking around acting like he can do whatever when the only thing separating him and humanity from death are the city walls. It's the earliest work of existentialism.
Learn mythology and literary understanding you fucking mongrels.
