Question

supporting a conclusion with evidence
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.
