Now it was no easy task
to find a rose, for
it was the middle of winter
By the side of a wood, in a
country a long way off,
ran a fine stream of water,
and upon the stream there
stood a mill
(the Brothers Grimm,
"Rumpelstiltskin")
They journeyed on till
began to be dusky, and
then the little man said,
"Let me get down
I'm tired
(the Brothers Grimm,
"Tom Thumb")
(the Brothers Grimm,
"Lily and the Lion")
By a great forest dwelt a
poor woodcutter with his
wife and his two children.
(the Brothers Grimm,
"Hansel and Gretel")
Soon after, the goblin
was waked by a
terrible noise and
knocking against the
window shutters and
the house doors and by
the sound of the
watchman's hom. A great
fire had broken out, and
the whole street seemed
full of flames
(Hans Christian Andersen,
"The Goblin and the
Huckster)

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.

- "about the claims : -

making a claim is just a fancy way of saying that you're stating your main point.' claims are not just opinions. a claim tells what you think is true about a topic based on your knowledge .

about the country claims : -

a counterclaim is just the opposite of a claim. counterclaims are also provable and supportable by reasons and evidence. not just, 'because i said so.' when you're planning an argument, you need to know what the counterclaim might be so that you can make sure that you disprove it with your reasons and evidence your research." - (catherineroberts)
