In his 2012 state of the union address, president barack obama said:
"nowhere is the promise of innovation greater than in american-made energy. we've opened millions of new acres for oil and gas exploration, and more than 75% of our potential offshore oil and gas resources. right now, american oil production is the highest that it's been in 8 years. last year, we relied less on foreign oil than in any of the past 16 years.
but with only 2% of the world's oil reserves, oil isn't enough. this country needs an all-out, all-of-the-above strategy that develops every available source of american energy—a strategy that's cleaner, cheaper, and full of new jobs."

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.
