I'm looking for a good translation of "The Epic of Gilgamesh" to read just for fun. I usually enjoy the Penguin Classic translations, so I was thinking about picking one up. In this case, the translator is Andrew George. Has anyone had any experience with this version that can compare it to other translations? I'd like to read it mainly because i'm just looking for a good epic tale, but i'd like to learn about it as much as possible too, so if there's a better version (eg. if George's version leaves out a lot of details for better readability), if you could tell me about it, that'd be great.
