The answer to the question: What effect does this repetition have on the epic?, is, that it shows that the supernatural are leading Gilgamesh during his quest.

Explanation:

The "Epic of Gilgamesh" is one of the first known literary works every written in history and it was written in Sumer, ancient Mesopotamia. It narrates the story and adventures that Bilgamesh, (Sumerian name for Gilgamesh), king of Uruk, around 2100 BC, had to face after meeting Enkidu, with whom Gilgamesh becomes friend. In this particular excerpt of the poem, the repetition has the effect of reminding the reader that Gilgamesh´s path, and his doings, are being guided by something beyond him, something bigger, as he struggles to discover the meaning and secret behind eternal life, as his friend Enkidu has died because the two of them slayed the Bull of Heaven, who belongs to the godess Ishtar.
