    • Epic of Gilgamesh

      One of the oldest stories ever written, The Epic of Gilgamesh incorporates archetypal hero’s and villains in poem form. It is short and should be read by all. The story lends new perspective on more recently written works of literature, such as the Bible and other religious texts.
