Title: An Excellent Collection and A Great Buy
Review: If you're interested in this remote region of literature and wonder what's behind the scholarly debates, this is a really good collection. Not only does it reflect recent advances in comprehending ancient Mesopotamian languages, the translation is clear, notes are abundant, and introductions are excellent. Just as important is the range of selections. This one volume contains "Gilgamesh", "Atrahasis", "Enuma Elish", "The Descent of Ishtar Into The Underworld" and several other myths. Both standard and alternative versions are given for "Gilgamesh" and some other works. A terrific value!
