520    Toward the end of the Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh King 
       Gilgamesh laments the untimely death of his comrade Enkidu,
       ""my friend whom I loved dearly."" Similarly in the Bible,
       David mourns his companion, Jonathan, whose ""love to me 
       was wonderful, greater than the love of women."" These 
       passages, along with other ambiguous erotic and sexual 
       language found in the Gilgamesh epic and the biblical 
       David story, have become the object of numerous and 
       competing scholarly inquiries into the sexual nature of 
       the heroes' relationships. Susan Ackerman's innovative 
       work carefully examines the stories' sexual and homoerotic
       language and suggests that its ambiguity provides new ways
       of understanding ideas of gender and sexuality in the 
       ancient Near East and its literature.
