Gilgamesh does not actually die because of either of his failures, but in falling asleep when he should not he proves himself weaker than sleep, which is often seen as a cousin or sibling to death (though not in the same way as the “little death” of later European thought).I WILL STOP PUTTING UNVEILED INNUENDO INTO MY SCHOLARLY WORK. YES I WILL

Gilgamesh/Enkidu OTP!

[lauzeta]

Yes indeed. :D

[lauzeta]

Nah, too obvious. :D

Where do I remember learning about the 'little death'? I've forgotten which class that was from...

[lauzeta]

Probably Kreider's. I distinctly remember him having to explain that one to the class.

[bang_hiss_meow]

Ew.

little death? Also: you always take out the awesome stuff in the editing! Sheesh!

[lauzeta]

Little death = orgasm.

I'm not taking out all the awesome stuff! The title of this one is still "I Want To Be Forever Jung", after all. :D
