As is common in many ancient epics, women play an extremely important role in the development of the plot and in shaping the actions and understanding of the male characters. “A final focus for this epic will be the roles of the female characters. In his article, “Images of Women in the Gilgamesh Epic,” Rivkah Harris states: “The Gilgamesh epic, in whatever version, was composed by men for the edification and entertainment of a presumable male audience who read or to whom the epic was read” (208). In other words, Gilgamesh was composed by men, for men’s entertainment; therefore, the view of women in this epic is through the lens of men’s eyes. Look closely at the women’s roles. Harris claims that women function as “supporting and subsidiary characters in the cast” (209) and are important because of their relationship to Gilgamesh. Finally, Harris believes that “the reversal of the expected roles of certain women in the Gilgamesh Epic is . . . an essential feature of the epic’s humor and comedy, which must have held great appeal for the ancients.” What women in this epic act like men? Read closely for this role reversal. “
