Who killed Enkidu? He aspires to be Gilgamesh's rival but instead becomes his soul mate. The gods punish Gilgamesh and Enkidu by giving Enkidu a slow, painful, inglorious death for killing the demon Humbaba and the Bull of heaven. Shamhat the temple prostitute who tames Enkidu by seducing him away from his natural state. In Enkidu's dream, the gods Anu, Enlil, & Shamash are confabbing. Anu says that, because Gilgamesh and Enkidu killed the bull of heaven and Humbaba, whichever one of them chopped down the biggest tree in the Cedar Forest must die. He can't understand why the gods sparing him and condemning Enkidu to die.
