El romance épico de Gilgamesh

Share

  Por Jamie Finkel.

La historia de Gilgamesh e Ishtar, que se encuentra en la “Epopeya de Gilgamesh”, es una historia de sexualidad, poder y rechazo. Ishtar, la diosa del amor, la fertilidad y la guerra, se enamora de Gilgamesh, el rey de Uruk, conocido por su fuerza y ​​sus heroicas hazañas.

Ishtar queda cautivada por la belleza y las hazañas de Gilgamesh y le propone matrimonio. Ella le promete grandes recompensas si se convierte en su consorte, incluidas riqueza, poder y el favor divino. Sin embargo, Gilgamesh, consciente de la notoria reputación de Ishtar por maltratar a sus amantes, rechaza con vehemencia sus insinuaciones. Enumera el destino de sus amantes anteriores, que sufrieron terribles consecuencias tras involucrarse con ella.

Enfurecida por el rechazo y el insulto, Ishtar busca venganza. Ella acude a su padre, Anu, el dios del cielo, y exige la liberación del Toro del Cielo para castigar a Gilgamesh y su ciudad. Anu acepta a regañadientes y el Toro del Cielo se desata sobre Uruk, provocando una destrucción generalizada.

Gilgamesh, con la ayuda de su amigo Enkidu, se enfrenta y finalmente mata al Toro del Cielo, lo que enfurece aún más a Ishtar. La victoria sobre el Toro da lugar a una celebración, pero también pone en marcha una serie de acontecimientos que eventualmente conducen a la muerte de Enkidu, hundiendo a Gilgamesh en un profundo dolor e impulsando su búsqueda de la inmortalidad.

El encuentro entre Gilgamesh e Ishtar resalta temas de dinámica de poder, las consecuencias de las relaciones divino-humanas y las complejidades del amor y el rechazo en la mitología antigua. También subraya la resistencia del héroe a la manipulación divina y su deseo de forjar su propio camino, incluso frente a la ira divina.

This summer I had a widow maker heart attack along with congestive heart failure. I require oxygen 24/7 for the rest of my life. I am on 2 different blood thinners along with 2 meds to keep my stints open. I now have a lot of limitations and would not be able to even do a job that requires minimal stress. I sure couldn’t run a country.

Gavin Newsom knows very well that Joe’s fading fast, and he’ll not even finish this term, but he doesn’t want to be that guy, the one that has to run against Joe, people might resent him for it, besides, he can’t bad mouth Joe’s policies, his aren’t any different

His career paid for by taxpayers and he’s always lacked scruples and honesty.
Then came this derangement from above. The chief babykiller pusher in history.

It’s like I told George Washninington back in high school, “Gerogie,” I said, “why don’t we get some flagons of ale, go down to the girls swimmin’ hole, and get our sniff on?” Well, Ol’ Georgie looks at me and says, “Joey, they’re gonna get you, one day, and haul you off to prison.” Well I looked back at him and said, “No way, pal. I’m a Bliding, and Biderns don’t go to person! I’ll take you out behind the gymnagazius, bub! Just then Corn Pop showed up with Granpop, and they said, “Hey, Joey, this is what love looks like!” and they sat down and started to kiss. Then, they said they wanted to get married, but I said, “Marriage is between a man and a girl! Like the Bile says! Even if yer Black ’cause ya voted fer me, you can’t get married!” Just then, some cockroach kids came out from the Black jungle, and they started rubbin’ my legs. Man, oh, man… well… I better stop. I’m gonna get in trouble.

Honestly, I think it’s not lawful for people in his condition to sign legal documents! All of his executive orders and judge appointments should be null and void
