Read the excerpt from gilgamesh: a new english version. gilgamesh said, "courage, dear brother, this is no time to give in to fear. we have come so far, across so many mountains, and our journey is about to reach its goal. you were raised in the wild, with your own hands you have killed marauding lions and wolves, you are brave, your heart has been tested in combat. though your arms feel weak now and your legs tremble, you are a warrior, you know what to do. shout out your battle-cry, let your voice pound like a kettle drum. let your heart inspire you to be joyous in battle, to forget about death. if we each other and fight side by side, we will make a lasting name for ourselves, we will stamp our fame on men’s minds forever.” which evidence from the excerpt best illustrates the point that gilgamesh is a leader who believes in teamwork? gilgamesh said, “courage, dear brother, / this is no time to give in to fear. / we have come so far, across so many mountains” you were raised in the wild, with your own hands / you have killed marauding lions and wolves, / you are brave, your heart has been tested in combat. though your arms feel weak now and your legs tremble, / you are a warrior, you know what to do. if we each other and fight side by side, / we will make a lasting name for ourselves, / we will stamp our fame on men’s minds forever.

The best answer for this question would be: “you are a warrior, you know what to do.-if we each other and fight side by side” gilgamesh encourages teamwork by motivating them, although they have faced several challenges together he is not giving up and he doesn’t want his men to give up either.
