“… This is precisely the most important divergence between the Homeric beyond and that of the Gilgamesh epic. In the latter, the idea of post-mortem rewards and punishments is treated most extensively. For instance, in Enkidu’s description the category of sexuality/fecundity is discussed so extensively as to embrace almost all kinds of people who descend to the netherworld. At the same time this criterion is not the only one applied to the defunct in order to determine their post-mortem situation: there are many other criteria, such as various circumstances of death, as well as categories including disobedience to parents, perjury or incorrect behaviour toward the gods. The picture drawn in the Epic of Gilgamesh implies that the post-mortem destiny of all people is defined either by how they conducted their lives or by the events of their lives. Focusing on this principle, we should note that the idea, reflected in the journey of Enoch, that all people after death will be classified according to certain circumstances of their lives even before the last eschatological judgement, with some of them receiving punishment and others being treated well, corresponds to the Mesopotamian principle and contradicts the Homeric one. …”
