Which lines from Gilgamesh: A New English Version best establish Gilgamesh as triumphant in battle? "I will stand by you. Now let us attack."
Gilgamesh felt his courage return.
They charged at Humbaba like two wild bulls.
Gilgamesh, hearing his beloved friend,
came to himself. He yelled, he lifted
his massive axe
They took their axes and penetrated
deeper into the forest, they went
chopping down cedars, the woods chips flew
They bound logs together and built a raft.
Enkidu steered it down the great river.
Gilgamesh carried Humbaba's head.
