Попались в руки мои старые выписки из комментариев...

Попались в руки мои старые выписки из комментариев к американскому комментированному изданию эпоса о Гильгамеше (2003 года, если правильно помню) в переводе Джорджа. Там полно перлов. Вот один из них - объяснение причины, по которой Гильгамеш не захотел жениться на Иштар:

"It seems that Gilgamesh is very aware that marriage to Ishtar would be of no normal marriage, for as I understand it, he envisages that it would lack many comforts a wife conventionally provides, in particular care of the person, provision of decent clothing, food and drink. In fact, the goddess of sex and war would make so unsuitable a wife, nobody would dream of marrying her".

("Похоже, Гильгамеш очень хорошо осознает, что брак с Иштар не будет иметь ничего общего с нормальным браком, поскольку, как я понимаю, он предвидит, что в нем не будет многих удобств, которые обычно предоставляет жена, в особенности ухода за мужем, снабжения его приличной одеждой, едой и питьем. По сути, богиня секса и войны столь мало подходит на роль супруги, что никто не захотел бы жениться на ней").
My old extracts from the comments on the American commented edition of the Gilgamesh epic (2003, if I remember correctly) fell into the hands of George. There are a lot of pearls. Here is one of them - an explanation of the reason Gilgamesh did not want to marry Ishtar:

"It seems that Gilgamesh is very aware that marriage to Ishtar would be of no normal marriage, for as I understand it, he envisages that it would lack many comforts a wife conventionally provides, in particular care of the person, provision of decent clothing, food and drink. In fact, the goddess of sex and war would make so unsuitable a wife, nobody would dream of marrying her ".

("It seems that Gilgamesh is very well aware that marriage with Ishtar will have nothing to do with a normal marriage, because, as I understand it, he foresees that he will not have many of the amenities that a wife usually provides, especially caring for her husband, providing him with decent clothes, food and drink. In fact, the goddess of sex and war is so unsuitable for the role of a wife that no one would want to marry her. ")
