If the Aeneid has a million fans, I'm one of them

If the Aeneid has one fan, I'm that one

If the Aeneid has no fans, my soul, indignant, has fled down to the underworld with a sigh

Although the alewife is a small part of the epic of Gilgamesh as a whole, her wisdom and near stoic attitude towards life definitely makes her my favorite character

Need you all to know that I wrote my midterm for my college art history class on homoeroticism in the Epic of Gilgamesh and other Ancient Mesopotamian Art. I went as far as to read papers about burial and mourning practices. My professor? Loved it.
