12.How do the gods behave and relate to humans?

Back to History 8 Gilgamesh questions

The gods listen to the human's words, and pity them when they are under the tyranny of Gilgamesh. The gods behave and relate to the humans by punishing the ones who disrespect or abuse other humans, and act as judges to the people they rule over. The gods are in a position superior to the humans, and act as idols to the peple and accept their prayers and hear their wishes.
