An analysis of the oldest form of poetry. 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.
