QuoteQuest“Father, let me have the Bull of Heaven<br />To kill Gilgamesh and his city.<br />For if you do not grant me the Bull of Heaven,<br />I will pull down the Gates of Hell itself,<br />Crush the doorposts and flatten the door,<br />And I will let the dead leave<br />And let the dead roam the earth<br />And they shall eat the living.<br />The dead will overwhelm all the living!”
