Review: The most valuable feature of this version is the well annotated comments - I really like the way the epic(s) are compiled that make it easy to read, and the annotations give a very good context to better understand the human component that make these stories so powerful in antiquity, and that still resonate today. Overall, it is not just about the accuracy of the narration, that should be left for scholars, but it makes a nice read for the reader curious about ancient mythology

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent version of a (very old) classic
*by L***. on September 4, 2020*

Absolutely stellar. I’ve read many different versions and translations of the epic, and this one is the most “real” in my opinion. The prose is meaningful and feels like an epic story, and less like a novella. the references of the tablets and the addition of contextual media really gives you a better sense of the epic in its entirety. if you want to read the epic of Gilgamesh, read this version. You won’t be disappointed.
