Hey all...
Just to tie up some loose ends:
In my research, I've found that the Igigi are, in facts, the heavenly counterparts to the Anunnaku. The Anunnaku (this is from google research, so we're probably going to get different answers on this) are apparently the seven judges of the underworld. That would mean, if this is the context that was meant, that Igigi would be friend, and Anunnaku would be the enemy. Just...an added thought. (This was actually said before, I believe, it just seems that it was ignored.)
Also, Shamhat was a priestess of Ishtar, and "civilized" Enkidu by making love to him for six days and seven nights. ("I haven't felt like this since the week Shamhat and I... but that would be gossiping, too.")
I don't know about the rest of you, but this is sounding a lot like Durandal (who, just for an additional Marathon connection, calls himself "Gilgamesh" at one point). The same sarcastic humour, talking to his "pet" soldier, on his ultimate power trip. Durandal often talks about how well "his" cyborg can fight and kill. (I know, I know...the two games aren't officially related...they just have some interesting similarities.) Durandal also talks about his sentamentality for the cyborg, that he keeps him alive for reasons that he's not entirely sure of. Just seems like a similar...tone, I guess.
Ah, the joys of speculation.
