In the poem “The Envoys of Aga,” this person is told “let the battle mace return to your side.” This person yells at a door after learning about their impending death. This person argues that death would cement the reputation of a monster that was defeated by thirteen winds after a friend considers sparing it. The sacred prostitute Shamhat spends two weeks teaching this person (*) language, though it causes animals to start fleeing from him. This person throws a bull’s severed leg at a fertility goddess after his friend rejects her advances, and he dies after helping his friend kill Humbaba. Dreams about sleeping with a meteor and an axe precede the coming of this person, whom the goddess Aruru creates to placate a despotic king of Uruk. For 10 points, name this companion of Gilgamesh. ■END■
