The Epic of Gilgamesh translated by Andrew George: Book Review


Finished: April 09, 2024

This is my first time reading this book, so according to my new rules, I'm doing this as a video only review.



Note: According to tradition, the standard version of The Epic of Gilgamesh was compiled by Sin-leqi-unninni (W).  However, the edition of this epic that I read doesn't credit an author on the title page, and my current policy on these book reviews is to follow the naming conventions of the edition that I read.
