1.The Epic of Gilgamesh: An English Verison with an Introduction (Penguin Classics)The Epic of Gilgamesh: An English Verison with an Introduction (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $9.95

Customer Review:
The introduction to this book consists, like all Penguin classics, of an essay by a prominent scholar in the field (and in this case the translator). It provides a very good introduction and background to the historical period as well as the epic itself. As the introduction is a bit dated (having... more info

2.Gilgamesh: A New English VersionGilgamesh: A New English Version
from Free Press
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
I agree with a previous reviewer from two years ago that I'm really not interested in a prose translation of Gilgamesh. While I found the Introduction interesting, the translation itself is disappointing considering there's really no need to have your own interpretation of what the missing tablets... more info

3.Myths from Mesopotamia: Creation, the Flood, Gilgamesh, and Others (Oxford World s Classics)Myths from Mesopotamia: Creation, the Flood, Gilgamesh, and Others (Oxford World's Classics)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
Though many of you would already know this, I think it's important that lay readers realize that this book contains direct translations of these tablets--so chunks of text will be missing from the stories. This is not a transliteration, so you're not going to have a series of stories that read... more info

4.The Epic of Gilgamesh (Penguin Epics)The Epic of Gilgamesh (Penguin Epics)
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $8.00

Customer Review:
I have to say that I didn't enjoy reading this edition of Gilgamesh as much as I thought I would. Probably the most bothersome aspect was that the text was littered with missing phrases, sentences, and paragraphs. It's not like the editors are to blame, its just that story is taken from hundreds of... more info

6.Gilgamesh: A Verse Narrative (Edition 001)Gilgamesh: A Verse Narrative (Edition 001)
from Mariner Books
Price: $8.95

Customer Review:
As a high school humanities teacher, I've used this text for over a dozen classes, and I've looked at a number of different translations. Mason's version is, hands down, the best. He writes with such poetic eloquence, and with sparse language, and he creates a bridge between the human struggles for... more info

7.The Epic of Gilgamesh (Norton Critical Editions)The Epic of Gilgamesh (Norton Critical Editions)
from W. W. Norton
Price: $9.50

Customer Review:
The Epic of Gilgamesh is a difficult text, both to translate and to read. I'm not a fan of translating Shamat (the woman who seduces & helps civilize Enkidu) as a "harlot." It's better than "prostitute" or "temple prostitute," but I think it has a very particular (negative) connotation in modern... more info

8.The Buried Book: The Loss and Rediscovery of the Great Epic of GilgameshThe Buried Book: The Loss and Rediscovery of the Great Epic of Gilgamesh
from Holt Paperbacks
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
I bought the book because I thought the "Chaldean account of the Deluge" as told in the Gilgamesh epic would help me in the writing of my book, Noah's Ark, Discovering the Science of Man's Oldest Mystery. However, the Great Epic turns out to be a very small portion of the Buried Book. I learned a... more info

Customer Review:
The EPIC of GILGAMESH
Translation by Maureen Gallery Kovacs

I first learned about The Epic of Gilgamesh in my 9th Grade Ancient History class. At the time, I was intrigued by the reported similarities between Utanapishtim and Noah. I finally decided to give it a read. On the surface, The Epic... more info
