not run as before,/ but now he had reason, and wide understanding” (I 199-202) The root of all life is through reproduction, usually by means of sex, so the simple act of Enkidu having sex with Shamhat is not the reason he starts to drift toward the human mindset. The shift arises through the purpose; instead of for reproduction, Enkidu had sex solely for pleasure, which in itself is humanistic. Even the animals with which he flocked no longer recognized him as one of their own; “the gazelles…
