The answers are:

courage in battle : Gilgamesh, showed great courage when facing a battle with the most precious one in the text above. The passage that makes this clear is: "Gilgamesh saw it, he leaped upon him, he held a knife to Humbaba's throat. "
connection to supernatural help : Gilgamesh, also had a supernatural help in his battle. An entity threw strong winds on the monster so that his movement would be compromised and Gilgamesh would easily attack it. The excerpt from the text that shows this is: " Then Shamash threw strong winds at Humbaba, the south wind, the north wind, the east and the west, storm wind, gale wind, hurricane, tornado, to pin him down and paralyze his steps."

Answer:

Homer's purpose in having Zeus recall the story of Agamemnon, Clytemnestra, Aegisthus, and Orestes in such detail might be to demonstrate the failures of men and their inability to listen or trust in the words of the gods.

Explanation:

In the hall of Zeus on Mount Olympos, all the gods but Poseidon gather and listen as Zeus reflects upon the moral failings of mortal men. He brings up the example of Aigisthos, who killed Agamemnon and stole his wife, though the gods warned him that Agamemnon's son, Orestes, would someday retaliate - which he justly did. Athena speaks on behalf of Odysseus, pleading with Zeus to free him from Calypso's grasp. He agrees, and the god Hermes will be sent to Calypso to ask her to free Odysseus.

I hope this helps you in any shape or form.
