Shamhat was a priestess who served Ishtar, the goddess of love.
She is proud of being able to use her body to earn money for the goddess.
One day, Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, ordered her to go to the mountains to seduce a wild man.
Shamhat came to the mountains and lived with the wild men for six days and seven nights. He finally conquered the wild men and took the wild men to meet Gilgamesh.
After completing his mission, Shamhat thought he could retire with success, but he didn't expect that a clingy puppy would appear behind him.

Gilgamesh: Money, money, money, you know money. Is money more important than me, Enkidu?
Enkidu: Of course, without money, Shamhat won't come home with me.
