Not really, Meta. Oh, interesting little fact, my Daddy used to call me Loki.

Did you play tricks a lot?

I love trickster gods, they're my favorite deity in any mythology.

lol Did you use to play tricks on people or something? About Gilgamesh I don't know either didn't have time to read up on it. Thought you'd give me a quick summary.

I wouldn't say I played tricks, but I was tricky and I'm good at bending the truth.

I found a condensed version of the Epic of Gilgamesh, Meta.

Gilgamesh, a king. Gilgamesh, a king. At Uruk. He tormented his subjects. He made them angry. They cried out aloud, "Send our king a companion! Spare us from his madness!" Enkidu, a wild man from the forest, entered the city. They fought in the temple. They fought in the street. Gilgamesh defeated Enkidu. They became great friends. Gilgamesh and Enkidu, at Uruk. The new friends went out into the desert together where the Great Bull of Heaven was killing men by the hundreds. Enkidu caught the Bull by the tail; Gilgamesh struck him with his sword. Killed him. They were victorious. But Enkidu fell to the ground, struck down by the gods. And Gilgamesh wept bitter tears, saying, "He who was my companion through adventure and hardship, is gone forever ..."

somehow i always thought gilgamesh was based upon a real story...like there's hints that what happened in the story actually happend, but less mythically..

wow very brief. I'll have finished Dante's Inferno this weekend (I got to the 7th circle of Hell) then I'll probably read up on Gilgamesh after midterms.

He was the fifth king of Uruk, around 2700 B.C. according to what I'm reading.

Congratulations, Meta, I'm tempted to ask how the weather is.

What do you mean?

Yep, that's the one. I don't think I've ever asked permission before.

You know, we're such a dysfunctional family, I bet we could give the Greeks a run for their money. Maybe we should draw up parallels between them and ourselves?

I like those extra arms! Shiva's my favorite next to Devi.

🤣 Dionysus as you Israfel?

I like Artemis!

Of course that's what I meant and I was actually thinking about him for you!

Moritana gets Eris.

You want Artemis, Amaranthine? I was thinking Demeter, but maybe that should be TofuQueen.

Who am I?
