Gilgamesh felt his courage return.

They charged at Humbaba like two wild bulls.

The monster let out a deafening cry,

his roar boomed forth like a blast of thunder,

he stamped and the ground burst open, his steps

split the mountains of Lebanon

–Gilgamesh: A New English Version,
Stephen Mitchell
