momee Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I don't know how I missed it but I need Norton's Anthology for the Gilgamesh reading assignment in Tapestry of Grace Year 1 Week 5. I don't have it yet. Can I use one of these and still complete the work for the week? Gilgamesh : a new English version / Stephen Mitchell The epic of Gilgamesh / retold by Geraldine McCaughrean ; illustrated by David Parkins. Gilgamesh : translated from the S¯in-leqi-unninn¯i version / John Gardner, John Maier, with the assistance of Richard A. Henshaw. Gilgamesh / Translated by William Ellery Leonard : Introduced by Leonard Cottrell, Illustrated by Irving Amen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy in Indy Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I don't know but I would caution you to be careful of the version you choose. As I understand, some are more *descriptive* than others. Personally, I read the first 4 pages of this and decided it wasn't something my 16 yr old needed.

Jane in NC Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I don't know but I would caution you to be careful of the version you choose. As I understand, some are more *descriptive* than others. I had one edition from a library book sale that my eyes popping. Can't tell you the author because that book left the house! We used Sandar, although I recall that a number of people on this board in its former incantation liked Ferry. Sandy's advice is good though: read the first few pages and see if you object to how the early, um, action is portrayed. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaNY Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 We used the one by Ferry. I remember putting a sticky note over a couple of sections, so I would pre-read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy in MD Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 but it's also written for logic stage. I don't think it would be as meaty as the other versions you listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
