Read the excerpt from Gilgamesh: A New English Version. At four hundred miles they stopped to eat,
at a thousand miles they pitched their camp.
They had traveled for just three days and nights,
a six weeks' journey for ordinary men.
When the sun was setting, they dug a well,
they filled their waterskins with fresh water,
Gilgamesh climbed to the mountaintop,
he poured out flour as an offering and said,
"Mountain, bring me a favorable dream."

Which feature of epic poetry does this excerpt most clearly show?

a courageous hero who answers a call to adventure
a journey filled with many challenges
a vast setting of distant landscapes
supernatural forces, such as gods or monsters, that intervene
