抄録

Lines 100-106 of Gilgamesh and Agga are usually interpreted as Gilgamesh speaking in retrospect. That is, Gilgamesh is recalling his indebtedness to Agga, and speaks of returning the old favor to him. However, I suggest that this section does not look back upon some past event, but expresses the real situation just after the battle, in which the victor Gilgamesh tells the defeated Agga to become his subject, thus allowing Gilgamesh to portray himself alone as having become the hero with no rival.
