Sav [38]

The statement that best paraphrases evidence to support the conclusion that Gilgamesh is courageous is the last one: Despite his momentary horror at seeing Humbaba’s dreadful face, Gilgamesh overcomes his fear with encouragement from his companion.

Heroes Gilgamesh and his friend Enkidu went there in order to capture and slay the monster, but, upon seeing him, the brave Gilgamesh started to flee away from him, horrified by his features.
