Question 1

Proximal attachment Gluteus Maximus

Answer 1

Gluteal surface of ilium behind the gluteal line
Posterior border of ilium and adjacent iliac crest
Posterior aspect of sacrum and side of coccyx
Sacrotuberous ligament

Question 2

Proximal attachment Gluteus Medius

Answer 2

Lateral (gluteal) surface of ilium between anterior and posterior gluteal lines.
