| “There he is!” the hunter exclaimed. “That is the savage man I have brought you to see! As soon as he sees you, he will approach you. Do not be afraid, for I am certain he will not hurt you. Let him get to know you, and teach him what it is to be a human being.”
Enkidu was fascinated by the woman, and he spent six days and seven nights with her. He forgot the grassy plain where he had been born, the hills where he had roamed, and the wild animals that had been his companions. Later, when he was ready to rejoin the wild beasts of the plain, they sensed that Enkidu was now a human being. Even the gazelles drew away from him in fright. Enkidu was so surprised by their change in behavior that, at first, he stood completely still. When he tried to rejoin them, he found that he could no longer run with the speed of a gazelle. He was no longer the wild man that he had been. However, he had gained something in return for the speed that he had lost, for he now possessed greater understanding and wisdom. He returned to the woman, sat down at her feet, and looked into her face attentively. The priestess said, “Enkidu, when I look upon you now, I can see that you have become wise like one of the heavenly gods. Why do you still want to roam over the grassy plains with the wild beasts? Leave this wild country to the shepherds and the hunters, and come with me. Let me take you into the strong-walled city of Uruk, to the marketplace and to the sacred Temple of Anu and Ishtar. In Uruk you will meet the mighty King Gilgamesh. He has performed great heroic deeds, and he rules the people of the city like a wild bull. You will love him as you love yourself.”[4] |
| Herodotus (1.199), for instance, records that some of the prostitutes at the temple of ‘Ashtart on Cyprus were ordinary women who had temporarily dedicated their bodies to the goddess in gratitude for an answered prayer or as the result of religious obligation.[5] |
| Whilst according to Lucian (De Dea Syria, 6), Byblian women who refused to shave their hair and offer it to the god Adonis at the annual festival in his honour were punished by being forced to spend a day prostituting themselves in the temple of ‘Ashtart.[6] |
| According to Philo, Berytus was founded by the supreme god El following his marriage to a mortal woman named Berout.[7] |
