What is the author's style in The Epic of Gilgamesh ?

The original manuscript is written in cuneiform script, therefore the text has been translated multiple times since the first tablets were found. The scholars attempt to keep the language close to the original intent, but there are great differences in the languages that might have altered the original intent to some extent. To add to the problems with translation, many of the original tablets were damaged and broken, leaving great spaces of the poem missing. This also leads to possible errors as scholars use the available information and educated guesses to fill in the missing pieces.
