Gilgamesh: Pages 83-End

In this last bit, what I first have to ask is, what happened to continuity? No word is said as to what happened after Gilgamesh's return, so we smust assume this is shortly after when no notable events have occured. But oddly it would seem that Enkidu died twice, as he would have to be living to descend into the nether world to then die from the cry of the dead. Is there an adeventure missing in which Enkidu is brought back? I believe it happene that Enkidu felt Gilgameshes need and had he gone along with the king's instructions he could've lived, maybe removed himself from the nether world to rejoin his beloved Gilgamesh. Another interesting tidbit is the role and importance given to sons in respect a man's life and after life. The more he has and the more faithful they are the better life and afterlife their father has, making me more important and therefore contrasting with the strong roles they give goddesses like the embodiment of bitter and angry love, Ishtar, more lust than romance and also goddess of war or the dark Queen of the Nether World Ereshkigal.
