Close to Uruk, a wild being came to live here. For weeks it troubled the hunters, keeping them from their prey. This was you: a half-beast created by gods. Stronger than the strongest man, but wiser than the wilest animal. But Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, was clever enough to find a way to tame you. Not through might of arms or fury of a king would you be tamed, but through the embrace of a woman of pleasure - Shamhat.
