Description
This volume samples a broad range of literature from the ancient world. It offers extensive selections from The Bible , The Book of Songs , The Mahabharata , The Ramayana , and Virgil's Aenid , as well as seven longer works in their entirety, including The Epic of Gilgamesh and The Odyssey . Editorial essays address such topics as the culture of Rome and the definition of "literature." Throughout the volume, the editors identify both what is most distinctive and what is commonly shared among the world's literatures. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
