The Stephen Mitchell translation of Gilgamesh. 4,000 years old and still an absolute banger. Ancient Uruk had priestesses that would sleep with any man for the glory of Ishtar
I bet 2000 BC sacred prostitute kitty was insane.

I got all my Gilgamesh lore through Japanese media but didn't one of those priestess-thots tame Enkidu that way? I remember he was originally a wild man who could speak with animals until he was tempted by temple whore kitty, and after smashing her for 7 days straight he could no longer communicate with nature.

Yeah, Shamhat. She just lays down with her tits out and hits him with kitty so freaky, he knows human language afterwards. I wasn't aware there was an anime, so I was super confused when I saw someone online saying Enkidu was non-binary

The Fate franchise (animes/light novels/games) is about wizards summoning figures from history and myths to fight each other but it takes a lot of liberties with them. Gilgamesh is OP as frick because he's from the OG myth.
