What does siduri mean?
- Siduri
- Siduri is a character in the Epic of Gilgamesh. She is an "alewife", a wise female divinity associated with fermentation. In the Old Babylonian version of the Epic, she attempts to dissuade Gilgamesh in his quest for immortality, urging him to be content with the simple pleasures of life Siduri's advice was recorded in the Old Babylonian version of Tablet X referred to as the Meissner fragment. Several scholars suggest direct borrowing of Siduri's advice by the author of Ecclesiastes The advice given by Siduri has been seen as the first expression of the concept of Carpe diem although some scholars see it urging Gilgamesh to abandon his mourning, "reversing the liminal rituals of mourning and returning to the normal and normative behaviors of Mesopotamian society."
