The similarity between the Hebrew Bible and the Epic of Gilgamesh is:

Both books use stories as guidance to life.

Explanation:

Most of us are familiar with the Bible. So, let's focus on the other work for a moment. The Epic of Gilgamesh is an epic poem in which the life and feats of Sumerian king Gilgamesh are told. Gilgamesh was perceived not only as a hero, but also as a god. Now, having that in mind, let's use elimination to find the correct answer.
