Epic of Gilgamesh : Tablet VII [Enkidu said,] "My friend hates me... while he talked with me in Uruk as I was afraid of the battle he encouraged me. My friend who saved me in battle has now abandoned me!" [Upon Enkidu's death,] Gilgamesh was roused. Like a dove he moaned... "May he not be held, in death... O preeminent among men... To his friend... I will mourn him."
