Misdemeanors of Gilgamesh

Gilgamesh, fourth king of the great city of Uruk, is greatly respected for building the great city walls defending his people and gaining much wisdom from his travels to meet Utnapistim. However, Gilgamesh surprisingly was not respected as a great king at first and may have even been looked upon in a bad light for the construction of the city walls. From the complaint of his people, it was obvious that Gilgamesh was a cruel tyrant.
In Babylonian ideology, the king is supposed to be just to his people and guide and protect them throughout. Theorists have inferred that Gilgamesh may have been sexually abusive with the woman in his city as evidenced by the couplet: “Gilgamesh will couple with the wife-to-be, he first of all, the bridegroom after.” Other theorists suppose that his tyranny was due to his need for games of great physical demands, causing the men of his city to be exhausted and the women to have to tend to them. The inference that I find most likely is related to his tyranny in constructing the great walls. The workforce attending to the wall consisted of public labor and there have been multiple references to mutinies of labor-gangs and other revolts.
Although he was renowned for building the great walls, we still call into question his methods in construction and his image to his people.
