Summary/Abstract: This study catches unawares the faces of the masculine and the womanhood too, present in Ghilgames Saga. The two central masculine characters – Enkidu and Ghilgames – polarize essentially two antagonic aspects, but they are complementary in their manifestation: Nature and Citadel, Chaos and Law, Childhood and Maturity. Saga feminine characters are faces of the womanhood who militated for civilization, through the wise Logos – Ninsus, through Eros and Logos – „the daughter of the pleasure” and the shattered womanhood, through tender eroticism – Isis.
