For the last day of #PrideMonth, #MythologyMonday's theme is #LGBTQ myths. There are many queer stories in mythology all over the world. Today I want to tell you about #Gilgamesh and #Enkidu. Gilgamesh is a hero in Mesopotamian mythology and the eponymous protagonist of the Epic of Gilgamesh, an epic poem written in Akkadian ca. 2100–1200 BCE. Enkidu is a wild man created by the gods to stop Gilgamesh from oppressing the people of Uruk, the Sumerian city-state.
