From pages 21-36 in Gilgamesh, we learn a lot about teamwork, companionship, and brotherhood. As soon as they left the gates of Uruk, Enkidu and Gilgamesh helped eachother out in every thing.
"Two people, companions, they can prevail together against the terror." Page 26
As a team, Gilgamesh and Endiku kill Huwawa and go back to Uruk.
In Uruk, Gilgamesh angers the goddess of love, Ishtar by not sleeping with her and exposing her foulness. In her rage, she tells her father Anu, who in turn summons the Bull of Heaven to go and attack Gilgamesh. However, once again, the combined power of the men is too much for the beast to handle.
" 'Two people, companions, they can prevail together,' and Enkidu seized the Bull by the reeking tail and Gilgamesh thrust his sword with the skill of a butcher between thhe shoulders and horns, and they killed the Bull" Page 34
This reminds me of the movie Fantastic Four, when the four heroes combine their powers to defeat Von Doom, who alone is stronger than each one of them. I think it is important to work as a team, and it shows us that in working with a team, you can accomplish near impossible tasks.

This is okay. It only needs less plot summary.
