Question 8 • Quiz

Which detail from Gilgamesh: A New English Version best illustrates a courageous hero?

Answer
A
Gilgamesh asking Enkidu to explain the meaning of his dream to him
B
Gilgamesh standing at edge of the Cedar Forest, ready to battle Humbaba
C
Gilgamesh standing at the top of the mountain and asking for favorable dreams
D
Gilgamesh dreaming of an eagle with a lion’s head and a flaming mouth

Explanation

A courageous hero willingly faces danger, and choice D shows Gilgamesh ready to battle the fearsome Humbaba at the edge of the Cedar Forest. Asking Enkidu about a dream or seeking favorable dreams does not show the same direct readiness to confront danger. The dream itself is not an action demonstrating Gilgamesh’s courage.
