Connecting 3 Myths With Gilgamesh (2)

Myths Read: 1. Apollo and Daphne. 2. Cephalus and Procris 3. Dryope

Apollo and Daphne: Is about a man called Apollo who cupid stroke with an arrow. But the problem was that he falled in love with the most unconvinient person: Daphne. She didnt like guys and didnt desire them. She wasnt interested in getting married or having any kids. Apollo always tried to impress her or make her fall in love with him. One day she was turned into a tree by the Gods and Apollo decided that he would take care of her for the rest of his life.

Cephalus and Procris: I liked this myth a lot beacuse it dealt a lot with misunderstanding, and that happens a lot in life. Cephalus was a man who liked to speak with the wind. One day his lovely wife heard him and thought she was talking to another woman and suicided herself.

Dryope: This myth was very sad beacuse it was about a mother who was feeding her child and accidentally toook a petal out of a flower and it was a nymph! She was cursed and was converted into a tree with her child in her hands.

All these myth realte to Gilgamesh beacuse they end up with life. All of the characters in this myth end up dying beacuase of irrelevant things and the same happens with Enkidu. He dies not beacuse he did anyting wrong, but beacuse the Gods decided his faith would be this way. Most of the times in myths either they start life or end up with it...
