Sumer, in the southern part of Iraq, created the first literary culture in history, as early as 2500BC. The account is structured around a complete English translation of the fragmentary Lugalbanda poems, narrating the adventures of the eponymous hero. The study reveals a work of a rich and sophisticated poetic imagination and technique, which, far from being in any sense 'primitive', are so complex as to resist much modern literary analysis. 410 0$aAthlone publications in Egyptology and ancient Near Eastern studies. 606 $aSumerian poetry$vTranslations into English 606 $aSumerian poetry$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSumerian poetry 615 0$aSumerian poetry$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a899 676 $a899.951 676 $a899.951009 676 $a899/.951009 700 $aBlack$b Jeremy A$0144601 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456573203321 996 $aReading Sumerian poetry$92145073 997 $aUNINA
