Read the excerpt from Gilgamesh: A New English
Version
What characteristic of an epic hero does the excerpt
reveal?
At four hundred miles they stopped to eat,
at a thousand miles they pitched their camp.
They had traveled for just three days and nights,
a six weeks' journey for ordinary men.
When the sun was setting, they dug a well,
they filled their waterskins with fresh water,
Gilgamesh climbed to the mountaintop
Obravery in the face of danger
O willingness to endure a voyage
ability to deliver compelling speeches
tendency to seek supernatural assistance
Mark this and retum
Save and Exit
