Please read your source material, Milen. Gilgamesh dual-wielded an unidentified sword and axe in the Epic, nit a spear, javelin, or mace. He was also shown to be cunning and wise - as much so if not more than Odysseus. Further, he could not have wielded a Khopesh; the sword was fist made in Egypt during the 2500s BCE, while scholars place Gil's reign at some point between the 2800s and 2500s BCE. Egypt didn't have regular contact with Sumeria until the 2000s BCE, making the earliest possible rendition of a Sumerian Khopesh a century after the epic was written.
