People criticizing his tyrant ruling brought about Enkidu, who brought about friendship, which also brought the fear of death after the death of Enkidu, and later helped Gilgamesh reach satisfaction of all his deeds. Utnapistim and Siduri from the Old Babylonian version and the Eleven-Tablet version respectively, helped him realize that he couldn 't attain his goal of immortality, but instead should accept his humanity and his achievements (Abusch 01). According to Ziolkowski, there was a sexual tension between them, although no sexual relationship was ever recorded. Despite the “lure of sex” that Ziolkowski referred to, I believe that their friendship was just so strong and was filled with trust and loyalty. They were, of course, soul siblings so they had an eternal bond with each
