Lets see shall we

Short Range

The Khopesh is longer and heavier. There's really not that much else to say.

Edge: Gilgamesh 

Mid Range 

I hate the Javelin, I really really do. It has no place in a one on one battle with it's piss poor accuracy and even if you try to use it as a melee weapon it's much too flimsy to be any real use. The Sumerian Spear is longer and while it has about the same accuracy when thrown it at least has usage as a melee weapon and allows Gilgamesh to better control the fight because of it's range.

Edge: Gilgamesh 

Long Range 

Ugh, the Javelin again. Can we all just agree that it is prehaps the worst ranged weapon in one on one or hell even squad on squad battles. The Bow is just a bow, nothing really special but it's got better range, accuracy and correct me if I'm wrong but Odysseus is a pretty good archer if I remember correctly.

Edge: Odysseus 

Special 

You'd think the axe would win out easily as it's bladed edge makes getting a fatal blow much easier and ordinarily you'd be right. The Mace itself is nothing special but Gilgamesh is an incredibly powerful demigod and this makes any blow he lands with that mace the chance to be fatal especially if he gets a solid hit in the chest. That being said though chopping off a limb is better than simply breaking the bones as it causes the affected individual to bleed out over time.

Edge: Odysseus

X Factors 

Gilgamesh has an average of 81 whereas Odysseus has an average of 89.75.

Edge: Odysseus

Final Verdict 

This is your basic brains vs brawn here. Gilgamesh is clearly the more physically domineering of the two and in a close range melee fight the superior range of his weapons allow him to stop Odysseus from getting close enough to use either his axe of sword effectively but he doesn't appear to be particularly intelligent or tactically based. Odysseus may lose out in physical ability (although he is still very powerful by normal standards) but he has a much greater grasp of tactics and planning ahead plus his bow allows him to dominate the battle at a range. In terms of experiance Odysseus also wins out having taken part in hundreds of battles and fought his away across the globe against a variety of monsters whereas Gilgamesh only has limited combat experiance against Enkidu & The Bull of Heaven. I have no doubt that Odysseus should win this fight even despite his disadvantage in melee combat as his sharp wits and tactical mind will allow him to compensate for this and think circles around his foe.

Odysseus: 3,000

Gilgamesh: 2,000
