![]() There are also a lot of Kindle and other reprints of very early translations, which are quite unreliable as well as being very incomplete. There are a whole bunch of competing translations, many of which seem to be re-writings of existing translations into modern languages, rather than direct confrontations with the Akkadian and Sumerian texts. Sandars even includes a piece of the Sumerian Gilgamesh literature, which does not belong to the Semitic (Assyro-Babylonian, or more simply Akkadian) texts that are the main source, a fact which can confuse those who don't read Sandars' explanations of what is going on. There were several versions in antiquity, from different times and places, and none of them has survived in really complete form, so translations are frequently like jigsaw puzzles, but with pieces from perhaps slightly different versions of the same picture. Sandars translation from Penguin Classics has introduced what must be generations of college students (and others) to the ancient story, but it hasn't been updated in quite some time (the latest I've seen is from 1987), and its eclectic text, seamlessly weaving together fragments from different periods, gives a misleading impression of how much of the epic we actually have.
