Read the excerpt from Gilgamesh: A New English Version. Gilgamesh felt his courage return. They charged at Humbaba like two wild

bulls. The monster let out a deafening cry, his roar boomed forth like a blast of thunder, he stamped and the ground burst open, his steps split the mountains of Lebanon, the clouds turned black, a sulfurous fog descended on them and made their eyes ache. 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. He could not move forward, could not retreat. Gilgamesh saw it, he leaped upon him, he held a knife to Humbaba’s throat. What is the best conclusion that can be drawn about Gilgamesh’s character from this excerpt? He prides himself on his triumphs in battle. He believes in the power of teamwork. He relies on supernatural forces to save him. He demonstrates bravery and takes risks.

We may take the winds helping out Gilgamesh's as his "teammates". However, these winds did not come naturally but were thrown in at Humbaba, which sounds like some sort of supernatural control of weather of which Gilgamesh takes advantage to defeat his foe. We can state that Gilgamesh relies on supernatural forces because he leaped upon Humbaba as he saw him pinned down to ground by the action of winds.
