GILGAMESH, EABANI, AND THE DIVINE BULL. TD 
may be included under this head appears in fig. 200, in which we have a cypress 
rising between two hills, and on each side of the two hills a rampant bison. The 
tree, the hills, and the bisons all indicate a mountainous and forest region as the 
source of the art. There is also an unusual, archaic, linear inscription in five lines, 
which may contain a royal name.

Another of this class is fig. 201, in which, besides the lions and bulls, there are 
two lions’ heads and a scorpion. Another example is seen in fig. 202, in which two 
crossed lions attack two ibexes, and in the field are seen a small scorpion, a crescent, 
a star, and a second crescent, and a star connected with a triangular sign. For 
Gilgamesh grasping a serpent in each hand, after the fashion of the infant Hercules, 
see an archaic bas-relief (Heuzey, “Découvertes,” plate 39, 7). 
- In a considerable number of cylinders Gilgamesh or Eabani is seen as an 
attendant on other gods, or Gilgamesh is shown with streams from a spouting vase, 
but these will be considered later.
