"Gilgamesh, whither are you wandering? Life, which you look for, you will never find. For when the gods created man, they let death be his share, and life withheld in their own hands. Gilgamesh, fill your belly. Day and night make merry. Let days be full of joy, dance and make music day and night. And wear fresh clothes. And wash your head and bathe. Look at the child that is holding your hand, and let your wife delight in your embrace. These things alone are the concern of men."

Why do you think gilgmesh is unwilling to take siduri advice at this point in his journey?

Gilgamesh may be unwilling to take Siduri's advice because he is reeling from the death of Enkidu and seeking answers to his questions about life and mortality. He may feel that he needs to find these answers on his own and is resistant to the idea of seeking guidance from others. Additionally, Gilgamesh's pride and arrogance may also be preventing him from accepting advice from someone he considers to be beneath him.


Why is Gilgamesh unwilling to take Siduri's advice at this point in his journey?

.When Gilgamesh and Enkidu return in glory, the goddess of love, Ishtar, proposes marriage to Gilgamesh. If he consents, she will shower him with many gifts, including a wondrous golden chariot studded with lapus lazuli, and will cause the mightiest rulers to kneel at his feet and pay him homage. But Gilgamesh refuses the proposal, telling her that he could not abide the infidelity for which she is famous. He recites for her a list of the lovers she enticed and then rejected. She turned one of them into a mole, another into a wolf. Deeply insulted, she petitions her father, the god Anu, to loose the great Bull of Heaven against Gilgamesh. Though Anu is well aware of his daughter's wanton ways, he gives in to her request after she threatens to break into hell and release the dead to work havoc among the living.
