Read the excerpt from Gilgamesh: A New English Version. Enkidu said, "Don't worry, my friend, the dream you had is a favorable one. Again, the mountain stands for Humbaba. He threw you down, but he could not kill you. As for the handsome young man who appeared, he stands for Lord Shamash, who will rescue you and grant you everything you desire." Based on the excerpt, how will Lord Shamash most likely affect the battle with Humbaba? Lord Shamash will help both Gilgamesh and Humbaba. Lord Shamash will help neither Gilgamesh nor Humbaba. Lord Shamash will help Humbaba defeat Gilgamesh. Lord Shamash will help Gilgamesh defeat Humbaba.
