Charles Rowan Beye's critically acclaimed interpretive introduction to the epic poetry and poets of Ancient Greece, Rome, and Assyria is here reprinted in an expanded second edition with a new preface, new chapter on Gilgamesh, and an Appendix of Further Reading 1993-2005.

These texts were once naively imagined to have come about in splendid isolation either as a miracle of divine creation or the spontaneous combustion of the 'Greek genius'. The mighty stream of words down over the millennia to our own time are so many generations of offspring still somehow beholden to their initial begetters. Thus do we construe Western Literature. from Chapter 8: GilgameshAlso available:The Evolution of the Gilgamesh Epic - ISBN 0865165467The Epic of Gilgamesh: A Myth Revisited - ISBN 0865165270For over 30 years Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers has produced the highest quality Latin and ancient Greek books.
