In tablet three of the standard version the city council urges Enkidu to protect Gilgamesh and bring him safely back to his "wives". This is the only mention of any marriage bond in the epic proper, although in an old babylonian version Siduri advises the king to "continually embrace" his wife and gaze upon the little child that holds [his] hand".

The older Sumerian poem, The Death of Bilgamesh (the Sumerian form of the hero's name) that probably dates to the late third millennium, mentions the king's "beloved wife", children, and junior wives.
