I have no further use for you, my lady.” (The Ramayana of Valmiki, Book 6. 913) As you can see from that passage, Rama seems very cold, standoffish and unsympathetic towards Sita.

Additionally, Gilgamesh’s journey was based upon the actions of God against his friend Enkidu. When Shamash, Enlil, and Anu caused Enkidu to be “stricken with sickness” (Gilgamesh 19) and ultimately killed him, this inspired Gilgamesh to start
