I used to have a 'pocket penguin' copy of Gilgamesh that was extremely well written. It's been years though, and I'm not sure how faithful the translation was. I wish I still had it around though, as my kids like the new translation of Beowolf I read to them on a trip a year or so ago.I think the translater's name was Heaney or something like that.

Some teachers are just terrible. I didn't even realize there could have been an error in translation let alone other versions. So I did a look, and the author you mentioned popped up. I love reading so much, but if the book is hard to follow, I lose interest.

I hadn't heard of Bewolf before..it looks really good. I'm going out today to see if I can find a copy.

Thanks!

I'm waiting for the Crichton version... I think Gilgi meets Buliwif in that one.

I do miss archaeology at times. Then I remember how much paperwork there was. But, Man's story is never a boring one... nor his stories.
