Shamash*, moreover, endowed him with fairness,
Adad*, with courage.
In him was two thirds a god one third a man.
The men in Uruk constantly stood in awe of him
For none can bear the brunt of his arms.
Gilgamesh leaves no son with his father,
Day or night his violence rages,
He who is the shepherd of Uruk.
He who is our shepherd leaves no virgin to her lover,
Be it the daughter of a hero or the promised maid of a simple warrior!
Their repeated lament reached to the ears of the gods of heaven.
They appealed to Aruru*, the goddess:
“you made him, o Aruru, now create his equal,
let him be as stormy as he is, let them contend together
And leave Uruk in quiet”
Aruru conceived the image of Anu in her mind, she dipped her hands into water, took some clay, let it fall in the wilderness and thus was created Enkidu, the hero creature of nightly silence, Ninurta’s* descent.
