Answer:
The statement that best paraphrases the sentences is:
It took the two men (Gilgamesh and Enkidu) only three days to travel the same distance that would typically take six weeks for any ordinary person.
Explanation:
Gilgamesh was a hero and a king in the Sumerian era. He is the main character in the epic poem 'Epic of Gilgamesh'.
Enkidu, on the other hand, is presented as a primitive/savage man, until he meets a courtesan named Shamhat, which becomes his tie to humanity and civilization.
The two men meet in a battle against each other, and from that moment onward they become friends and travel/adventure companions.
The passage underlines how extraordinary the two men are: strong, almost invincible; better than any other ordinary man; almost godly-like warriors. They are represented as giants in many mythologies of the time.
