And she sees Gilgamesh and falls in love and proposes marriage.
But Gilgamesh rejects her, listing all her dead or otherwise diminished former lovers, one of whom gets turned into like an earwig or something like that.
And she gets pretty angry and calls on her father, Anu, the sky god, to send down the Bull of Heaven, which is the constellation Taurus, to kill Gilgamesh.
That's me.
Yes, so they work together essentially because the Bull of Heaven is quite a destructive creature and as he approaches Uruk, everything he does essentially ends up killing huge amounts of people.
Every time he breathes, a huge gulf opens up in the ground and swallows people up, etc.
From memory, Enkidu grabs him and then Gilgamesh stabs him in the head between the horns.
Yeah, just a sword in this one or a blade of some kind.
Okay.
That'd be a very good one.

Yes, they cut out the heart.
They offer it to Anu, the sky god, and then they throw its penis at Ishtar.
Yeah, yeah.
It's quite the move, though.
You know, I'm trying to remember the scene, but I think there is like a worship scene of this penis in the temple to some degree where she gathers temple worshippers and they're like, sorry, penis.
So the gods are pretty angry.
I mean, they've killed a whole constellation, which is bad.
They sentence Enkidu to death and he actually dreams of being in the underworld.
