I think Gil giving the snake immortality was supposed to be taken literally until CCC clarified. Both Artoria and Iskandar both consider that he literally gave immortality away, and Iskandar was pissed off about that and all his info on Gil came from his legend
"Only in my company, will you not be a monster"
anywhere than here
It's like if someone says "it's raining cats and dogs outside."
If you look outside and don't see cats and dogs falling from the sky you don't call it a lie.
It's ambiguous enough to support either meaning.
He never sleeps. He never dies.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.
I don't know how it is in Japanese, so maybe it's more ambiguous there. But Gil's words were translated verbatim "Immortality? Pah. I gave that to the snake." Which is a completely different thing from having it taken away by the snake, but shrugging regardless.

No it’s not. He straight up says that because it was worthless, he gave it to the snake.
then we find out that A, he went back later and got more, and B, one of te things he hates more then anything in the world is snakes.
dude didn’t like admitting he fucked up, so lied to make himself look better.
Also, I most certainly wan't planning on defending Gilgamesh, but:
"Is that so? Even if you are a king, you are still a woman.
It should be a woman's joy to be held down and be violated. So why do you refuse? It is not like you are a virgin. Are you scared to become mine?"
"You"
"Do not resent me so. I do not only take. I shall give you pleasure equally. If you are to become mine, I will literally give you everything in this world.
Be proud, I have accepted that you have such value."
He legitimately believes that women enjoy being violated by men and he even boasts that he's good at it. (Take notes, gentlemen- this is what sexism looks like). I don't think the word "rapist" is fair- though by our standards, he would certainly be one.

He stops.
I don't know what's so funny, but the man starts laughing.
"Great, that is what I expect from the woman I chose!
Yes, there must be at least one that will not obey me…!
"All right. Then I shall do so by force. After I obtain the Holy Grail, I shall pour the contents onto you.
"
You will be taking in all the power of the omnipotent vessel. You shall not be a familiar to humans like the Servants."
And here's the "things have value only if they're hard to obtain and/or unobtainable" mentality again. He's quite consistent, if nothing else.
