In this section (assuming you read the tablet six) you'll learn about Ishtar's lust after Gilgamesh, this reveals how close people, part-person, part god and the Babylonian gods where with each other. The pagan gods of Babylon like others were not thought to be all-powerful, they were thought to live in certain house and they made mistakes.
