Well-presented and informative handling of a story that has intrigued me for a long while - and the importance of the points you make about both the Mesopotamian context and the nature of myth itself (e.g., complex, non-dualistic ‘archetypal’ characters) cannot be overstated.

Great job, and say “interestingly” as often as you want! 😄
