Gilgamesh and Enkidu with Humbaba’s Head
— The friends rest after the hardships of battle. They are glad, life is again worth savoring, the sun warms the day and the night brings a pleasant chill.
— Humbaba’s head impaled on a stake declares their victory to the world. Had they known what awaited them, they would have hidden the trophy in the darkest recesses.
