Which detail from Gilgamesh (the New English version) best illustrates a courageous hero?

I
think the idea of "courage" in Gilgamesh is more complicated than it might seem. Both
Gilgamesh and Inkidu are strong and brave, but their courage comes from their friendship and
bond as brothers. One example of this is how it through working together they are able to defeat
Humbaba. At first, Inkidu is afraid of challenging Humbaba, and Gilgamesh has to convince him to
be brave (see p 93). Later, after they enter the cedar forest, Gilgamesh is scared, but Inkidu
reassures him, saying that "two boats lashed together will never sink," (p 122)
meaning that as long as they work together, they will triumph. Inkidu is also the one who
convinces Gilgamesh to be brave and cut off Humbaba's head (p 127).
