Gilgamesh

[momee]

I don't know how I missed it but I need Norton's Anthology for the Gilgamesh reading assignment in Tapestry of Grace Year 1 Week 5.

I don't have it yet. Can I use one of these and still complete the work for the week?

I don't know but I would caution you to be careful of the version you choose. As I understand, some are more *descriptive* than others. Personally, I read the first 4 pages of this and decided it wasn't something my 16 yr old needed.

I had one edition from a library book sale that my eyes popping. Can't tell you the author because that book left the house!

We used Sandar, although I recall that a number of people on this board in its former incantation liked Ferry.

Sandy's advice is good though: read the first few pages and see if you object to how the early, um, action is portrayed.

We used the one by Ferry. I remember putting a sticky note over a couple of sections, so I would pre-read.

but it's also written for logic stage. I don't think it would be as meaty as the other versions you listed.
