| | 1. |  | The Epic of Gilgamesh (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $4.98
Customer Review:
Or something like that. I'm sure I've gotten the quote slightly wrong. But be that as it may it does very much sum up much of this stories reason to be.

Customer Review:
Your take on this version of Gilgamesh will likely depend on your scholarly intimacy with earlier renditions of the text.

| | 7. |  | Gilgamesh: A New Rendering in English Verse
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $4.23
Customer Review:
David Ferry's rendering of the Gilgamesh epic was beautifully done, accessible, and easy to read. I blew threw it in about 2 hours. The quality of the render lends itself to a very fluid read. I highly recommend this, especially over other prose translations.
