Many languages have what some consider a significant limitation: they lack a gender-neutral third-person singular pronoun. When using a pronoun to refer to a person, speakers must either specify a gender or say something like "he or she." Not only can this be cumbersome, but it means that there is no good pronoun choice when a person's gender is unknown to the speaker. Sweden addressed this problem in 2015 by adding a new pronoun—hen—which refers to a person without specifying a male or female gender. Hen does not replace the Swedish pronouns han, meaning "he," or hon, meaning "she"; it simply adds another option. Thus, Swedes now have their choice of three, rather than two, singular pronouns for referencing individuals.

gilgamesh is an epic hero from birth, as he's brought to the world by the hand of several gods who shaped him with the goal of saving humanity. there's a passage from the text that reads "the glorious sun shamash bestowed upon him glory; adad the terrible god of storms bestowed upon him courage. the great gods perfected his magnificence beyond all others, terrible like the great wild bull". this is a great example that show some of the super-human qualities that the gods gave gilgamesh upon his birth.

as gilgamesh grows he has to face many challenges that put his heroism to task. the courage he displays along the way, prove that he's ready to live up to the godly qualities brought upon him. at one point he has to overcome a wild beast by the name of hubamba "whose roar is a flood, whose mouth is fire, whose breath is death", as the text reads. the actions taken by gilgamesh, beating the beast with the use of his super-human force, examplify why he shoud be thought of as an epic hero.
