1. Cite some scenarios from the Epic of Creation “Enuma Elish” and Epic of Gilgamesh that is connected or similar from
the Book of Genesis (Bible)? 5 points

 Leadership, courage, bravery, and perseverance are characteristics that the ancient Gilgamesh world and
the modern world have in common. Among Gilgamesh's excellent qualities are bravery, tenacity, and loyalty.
However, he is hampered by personality flaws like conceit and egotism. The Philippine government answers
directly to the President, a rarity in contemporary culture when absolute power is held by one person. New
leaders have been appointed because of the restructuring and reorganization. Although Gilgamesh's
subjects occasionally do not appreciate his superior strength and power, they are aware of it and respect it.
Gilgamesh and a president have similar principles in that they both adhere to the fundamentals and excel as
military leaders. The Duterte administration has always defended the nation's territorial integrity in the
West.

2. Based on your notion who do you think is the person or a hero whom you could consider as a modern
Gilgamesh? Why? What is the implication of this to the new world? 5 points

 The tales of Gilgamesh and contemporary heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman aid in
understanding that real heroes are not always apparent right away. Heroes must look for novel ways to
provide their services and establish their value since society still lacks the strength to acknowledge the
necessity for heroes. The desire to improve the world and give society hope that anything is possible if a
certain amount of desire and possibility is present are two things that Gilgamesh and our modern heroes
have in common despite coming from different eras and presenting different images.
