Answer:

A courageous hero = Gilgamesh is a strong, powerful king

Supernatural forces = The gods send English to Gilgamesh

A challenging journey = Gilgamesh and Enikidu travel to cedar forest

Narrative voice = The story tells Gildamesh adventures

Step-by-step explanation:

An epic poem is a story about a hero that goes on a journey to achieve a certain goal. It is told as if it was a long poem. The Epic of Gilgamesh is the oldest surviving epic poem and it tells the story of a man that has to face a journey in order to seek the secret of eternal life.
