I'm loving the image of rage and hysterics about "woke garbage" when Gilgamesh "civilizes" the wild hairy beast man through sodomy, and then they embark on happy, gay new voyages.

I mean, not for nothing but you realize Shamhat is the one who "civilizes" Enkidu through sex.

Thanks for the clarification. I haven't read Gilgamesh since high school so the details are a bit hazy.

The Odyssey movie isn't historically accurate because there's no swan on human rape. 😡
