Who Is the True Hero?

Yesterday in class Hunter Crow brought up the point that Gilgamesh wasn't a hero because he took credit for most of Enkidu's actions, and he compared it to Barry Switzer winning the super bowl with Jimmy Johnson's team. This got me thinking about whether Gilgamesh really is the hero or if Enkidu was the true hero in the story. In addition, i got to thinking about how people take credit for other peoples work all the time. It could be as simple as stealing a joke from a friend or as big as taking credit for a project that your friend did all the work but you were partners with him so you take credit. Just like how Gilgamesh says he killed the bull then mention that Enkidu helped him kill the bull, but in reality Enkidu started fighting the bull then Gilgamesh joined in. In a way i saw this as a low thing to do because hero's in my opinnion are better people for being humble instead of being all out their like i did this i'm the greatest. Gilgamesh likes to boast about how he was able to kill Huwawa or how he killed the bull. To the contrary Enkidu is kind of the quiet one who sits back and lets Gilgamesh take the credit when in reality he should be the one to take the credit. Although Gilgamesh does this in my opinion he is still a hero because even though he is cowardly at some points he still gets the job done with his companion Enkidu. Furthermore, i do still think Enkidu is a hero who displays more characteristics of a hero but i don't it he or Gilgamesh would have been able to become heroes without each other. I say this because when they are in the forest going to kill Huwawa both Gilgamesh and Enkidu run and hide from the face of the demon because they are afraid, but their companion comes to save them and together they accomplish great deeds no by themselves. Finally i think that the story of Gilgamesh is the transformation of a normal person to a hero. I say this because in the beginning Gilgamesh was always making the people of Uruk mad doing whatever he wanted, but by the end of the story he tried to take the plant of eternal life back to uruk to share with his people. I bring up this example because i am definately positive that in the beginning i think Gilgamesh would have eaten the plant the first chance he had and not have even considered sharing the plant. So what i am trying to say that no matter how one hates a person because of their past boast a heroic deed is a heroic deed making both Gilgamesh and Enkidu heroes.
