Gilgamesh tablet 6

Gilgamesh and Enkidu have defeated Huwawa in the Cedar Forest, and they are feeling very victorious. The goddess Ishtar walked in on Gilgamesh while he was cleaning himself up, and she fell in love. I thought it was pretty straight-forward of her to tell Gilgamesh " give me the seed of your body, give me your semen; plant your seed in the body of Ishtar." As it turns out, Ishtar is quite the companion and something bad has happened to all of her past lovers. For example, she turned one of her lovers into a frog and left him alone in a tunnel forever. Gilgamesh, being the wise man that he is, thought that history might have a way of repeating itself and denied Ishtar. I thought it was ridiculous how mad she got after this. Ialso thought that Gilgamesh made the right choice by denying her; who want to end up a tortured animal?
